Summer has definitively arrived in Puglia and we have been experiencing unusual warm temperatures for the whole week.
This also means that we can also finally find all the super delicious summer fruit.
Marika has been making all sorts of fruit salads, which not only are very delicious, but also very refreshing and healthy.
Today she made a fruit salad with cantaloupe melon and pineapple.
She says this is the best fruit salad to have on a very hot day, like today!
Due to its water and mineral content, this juicy and fresh salad made of cantaloupe melon and pineapple can help rehydrate our body on such a warm day!
Pineapples and cantaloupe melons are perfect for salads, juices, fruit cocktails, snacks and also if you like decorating with fruit. We tried to make a swan using just toothpick!
Cantaloupe melons have lots of other health benefits. They are a good source of potassium and are rich in anti-oxidants that can help prevent cancer and heart disease. They are very rich in Vitamin C, beta-carotene and Vitamin B complex.
Pineapples also have many other health benefits. They are a good source of Vitamin C (which acts a powerful anti-oxidant against free radicals) manganese, calcium, potassium, fiber and bromelain enzyme (which aids digestion and the immune system).
What is your favorite summer fruit salad? How do you make it?
