Michelle's Freefrom Melon and Ginger Salad

Corn, egg, gluten, lactose, milk, nightshade, nut, peanut, sesame, soya & wheat free

This is a very simple but refreshing salad.

Serves 6

Ingredients

  • a 20-30g / 1-1½ oz piece of fresh ginger, depending on how gingery you want your salad
  • 400ml / 13fl oz pink fruit juice - we used Copella apple and raspberry but you could use a cranberry mixture or any other combination that you like; the juice does not need to be pink for flavour, it just looks prettier
  • 1 large or 2 small Ogen or Charentais melons

Method

  1. Peel and slice the ginger into very thin matchsticks.
  2. Put them in a pan with the juice and heat to a simmer.
  3. Cook just below a simmer for 3-4 minutes to soften the ginger.
  4. Deseed the melons and scoop or spoon out the flesh into one large or six small bowls.
  5. Spoon over the ginger and fruit juice and leave to cool in the juices before serving either chilled or at room temperature.
