A delicious fruit salad that makes a refreshing finish to any meal. Cooling mint and zesty ginger add interest to succulent watermelon, grapefruit and orange.

The grub:

2 cups watermelon, peeled and cubed

2 pink or red grapefruit, peeled, segmented and cut into bite-size pieces

2 oranges, peeled, segmented and cut into bite-size pieces

2 tbsp crystallized ginger, cut into very small pieces

2 tbsp finely chopped fresh mint leaves

1/4 cup slivered almonds (optional)

The how-to:

Toss together watermelon, grapefruit and orange pieces. Right before serving, top with ginger and mint, as well as slivered almonds (if using).

Serves four to six.
