Melon salad for fasting

Recipe for a Fasting Fruit Salad: Melon & Cherry Tomatoes with Basil

Ingredients:

• 4 cups cantaloupe melon cubes (use any type of melon that is available to you)
• 1 cup cherry tomatoes (use blackberries or blueberries instead if you prefer)
• small piece of ginger grated
• 1 Tbsp maple syrup optional
• 1/4 cup packed fresh basil leaves chopped
• Freshly ground black pepper for seasoning
• 1/4 roasted almonds or sunflower seeds, optional

Method

• Combine the melons and cherry tomatoes with grated ginger
• Drizzle some maple syrup if you like (our melon was really sweet so we did not need this)
• Garnish with basil leaves, sprinkle black pepper on top
• Sprinkle nuts or seeds on top if using and serve
