Kiwifruit Salad
Since kiwifruit is often described as having elements of citrus, strawberry, and melon, we decided to put them all together for an intense kiwi experience. Makes 4 Servings


Ingredients:

1 teaspoon minced fresh ginger
1 pint strawberries, washed and stemmed
2 tablespoons honey
1 navel orange, peeled with all white pith removed
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon mild vinegar such as rice or cider vinegar
4 kiwifruit, peeled and cut into thin rounds
Small head of radicchio for lining a platter
1 tablespoon almond oil or walnut oil
2 tablespoons toasted, sliced almonds
Kosher salt to taste
1/2 small cantaloupe, peeled and seeds removed


Instructions:
1. Combine ginger, honey, lemon juice, vinegar, oil, and salt in a small bowl. Set aside.

2. With cut side of cantaloupe down on a work surface, cut into very thin slices crosswise. Then cut slices in half crosswise. Halve strawberries lengthwise. Cut oranges into thin slices.

3. Put radicchio on a platter, flattening it out to make as even a surface as possible. Arrange fruit in concentric rings around the platter; first the cantaloupe on the outside, then half the strawberries inside that. Then arrange kiwi, remaining strawberries, and orange slices in the center.

4. Stir up dressing again and pour over fruit. Sprinkle with almonds.

Cooking Tip
By using sliced almonds, which are cut much thinner than you can do at home, you can get the same almonds flavor in many dishes while using fewer nuts. This keeps the cost and the fat down.
