Herbed Fruit Salad

This is the perfect summer salad.  Experiment at home with the fruits you have... that's how I came up with this cool, refreshing treat.  Perfect for dessert, a light breakfast (you can add nuts, granola, nut cream to make it a parfait) or paired with a savory lunch!

-half a mini watermelon
-half ripe white peach or nectarine
-handful small-medium strawberries thinly sliced top to bottom
-1 large Persian cucumber
-4 large mint leaves 
-half cap-full vanilla extract (preferably rum based)


Use a mini melon scooper for the watermelon
Cut peach into bite sized squares
Cut cucumber into half moon pieces
Roll up mint leaves and chiffonade 
Splash in vanilla, lightly toss and chill for 1 hour before serving

* Serves 3-4 (or 1, in my case... tee hee!)
