Ingredients

2 mangos
1/2 pineapple, fresh
1/2 cup lemon juice
1 cup apricot nectar (or orange juice, if desired)
lettuce cups
2 or 3 fresh strawberries, per salad

Instructions

Cut two mangos in 1/2-inch cubes in a medium sized bowl.

Add 1/2 fresh pineapple cut into small cubes.

Blend: 1/2 cup lemon juice with 1 cup apricot nectar or orange juice and pour juices over fruit.

Serve on individual lettuce cups, or in a bowl.

Garnish with two or three strawberries per salad bowl.

Fill with the above mango mixture and serve on a lettuce bed.

Notes

Any yellow melon, such as cantaloupe or Spanish melon, may be used if mangos are not available.

For a variation on this salad, peel 4 avocados, cut them in half, and remove the stones.

You may also alternate long slices of mango (or melon) with watermelon and grapefruit sections.
