Feel Good fruit salad

So I told you how to make pickled onions, so how do you use them?

Feel Good fruit salad (just made that up)

This serves 2 people a hearty portion or 4 people as an appetizer


1 large ripe plum
1/2 cantelope or honeydew melon (I prefer Cantelope)
1/2 C crumbled Feta cheese
1/4 C sliced Almonds
1/2 C Pickled onions

Seed plum and slice thin, Seed cantelope and peel, slice thin (cantelope should be cut into half moon shape and then half again to make 1/4 moon? sounds confusing? just cut the melon thin and make it easy to eat with a fork.)

Mix all the above in a bowl and toss.


Vinaigrette: 1 lime juiced, zest that same lime and chop zest fine, 1/4 C olive oil, and 3 Tbsp Honey. whisk all until well combined. Pour over melon and plum mixture and toss to coat.

Crack some fresh pepper and sprinkle a little kosher salt and serve.

I like to serve this over a bed of mixed greens but it is very good all by itself. Very refreshing salad for our smoking hot summers here is Arizona.
