Cantaloupe Melon Salad
When you need just a small amount of sifted icing (confectioners') sugar, use a tea strainer. Spoon the sugar into the strainer, then lightly tap the side with the spoon so that the sifted sugar drifts down evenly. Though tempting when you're in a hurry, mashing the sugar in the strainer will not quicken the time it takes to sift through!
Total time: 8 min
Servings: 4
Equipment: Grill | Broiler
- 1/2 Cantaloupe Melon
- 1 c. Fresh Strawberries
- 1 tbsp. Confectioners' Sugar, plus extra for dusting
- Preheat the grill (broiler) to high. Hull the strawberries and cut them in half. Arrange the fruit in a single layer, cut side up, on a baking sheet or in an ovenproof dish and dust with the icing sugar.
- Grill (broil) the strawberries for 4–5 minutes, or until the sugar starts to bubble and turn golden.
- Meanwhile, scoop out the seeds from the half of the melon using a spoon. Using a sharp knife, remove the skin, then cut the flesh from the wedges.
- Arrange the melon wedges attractively on a serving plate and sprinkle the lightly carmelized strawberries on top. Dust the salad with icing sugar and serve immediately.
