Mango Melon And Chicken Salad Low Sodium Recipes

MELON, MANGO, AND AVOCADO SALAD

Steps:

• To make pickled onions, combine the thinly sliced red onion and the red wine vinegar in a small bowl. Cover; chill for at least one hour.
• Pour the orange juice into a large salad bowl. Whisk in the olive oil and orange zest; season with 1/4 teaspoon salt, and a pinch of black pepper. Toss the cantaloupe, watermelon, and mango in the dressing. Just before serving, stir in the pickled onions and cilantro leaves.
• Cut the avocados into 1/2 inch dice; place in a small bowl. Sprinkle with the lime juice, and season with the remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt. Stir lightly to combine. Spoon an even amount of avocado into the bottom of 6 large martini or wine glasses. Top avocado with melon salad; garnish each salad with a lime slice.

MELON MANGO SALAD

Steps:

• Make dressing by stirring together plain yogurt, a tablespoon of honey and a teaspoon of grated gingerroot.
• Halve melon and scoop out seeds. Slice, peel, and cut into chunks. Mix with grapes.
• Slice mango on each side of the pit. On each half, slash the flesh into a criss-cross pattern down to the skin. Push the skin from underneath to turn the mango halves inside out. Remove the flesh and add to melon mixture.
• Arrange watercress and salad greens on 4 serving plates. Whisk olive oil and vinegar and season to taste with salt and pepper. Drizzle over the watercress and greens.
• Divide the melon mix equally between the 4, then spoon the yogurt dressing on top. If desired, scoop the seed out of the passion fruit and sprinkle over the salad. Serve immediately.
