    It's a little time consuming and messy to clean, cut, and create a fruit salad. However, it's not a problem if you are not the host and offer to bring this tasty side dish to the party or pot luck dinner.

    Ginger lime mint dressing

    Recently my sister invited us to a party at her house celebrating her husband's birthday. I offered to bring a fruit salad. Normally I would just cut up the fruit and serve it as is. After all, the fruit in summer time is so fresh and readily available everywhere.

    Still, I wanted to try adding a little dressing, to spice it up for a change of pace. I came up with a combination of fresh ginger, lime, and mint.

    Just a little more than 1/2 cup of this dressing gave the fruit salad an extra zing and flavor that tasted great.

    I think this would work even better during the winter months with apples, pears and other fruit that may not be quite as juicy.

    An added benefit: The acid in the lime juice helps keep the fruit from browning if you didn't serve it right away.

      This sounds wonderful and the combination of mint with lime and ginger sounds fantastic. Everything is just better with herbs and citrus...
