The addition of avocado adds a surprising level of creaminess to the cool, crisp taste of the fresh citrus and melon.

Ingredients
Instructions

2 tsp. grated orange peel 2 tsp. grated lemon peel 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice 1 Tbsp. sugar 1 cup cantaloupe balls or 3/4 inch cubes 1 cup honeydew balls or 3/4 inch cubes 1 ripe, Fresh California Avocado, peeled, seeded and cut into chunks 1 cup orange sections, cut in half 1/2 cup fresh raspberries

Combine orange peel, lemon peel, lemon juice, and sugar in a small bowl. Stir until well blended.
Spoon half of the melon balls, avocado, oranges, and raspberries in a shallow pan, such as a 1 1/2-qt casserole dish. Repeat layers. Do not toss. Drizzle citrus mixture evenly over all.

Serving Suggestions: May serve in individual bowls or wine goblets and spoon equal amounts of the citrus mixture over each serving.

Cook’s Tip: Using a shallow pan, allows the juices to absorb into more of the ingredients.

Beverage Pairings: Water with lemon or lime slices, or for a festive brunch try with a flute of champagne.

*Large avocados are recommended for this recipe. A large avocado averages about 8 ounces. If using smaller or larger size avocados adjust the quantity accordingly.
