Since kiwifruit is often described as having elements of citrus, strawberry, and melon, we decided to put them all together for an intense kiwi experience. Makes 4 Servings.
1 teaspoon minced fresh ginger
2 tablespoons honey
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon mild vinegar such as rice or cider vinegar
1 tablespoon Tantillo Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Kosher salt to taste
1/2 small cantaloupe, peeled and seeds removed
1 pint strawberries, washed and stemmed
1 navel orange, peeled with all white pith removed
4 kiwifruit, peeled and cut into thin rounds
Small head of radicchio for lining a platter
2 tablespoons toasted, sliced almonds
1Combine ginger, honey, lemon juice, vinegar, Tantillo Extra Virgin Olive Oil, and salt in a small bowl. Set aside.
2With cut side of cantaloupe down on a work surface, cut into very thin slices crosswise.
3Then cut slices in half crosswise. Halve strawberries lengthwise. Cut oranges into thin slices.
4Put radicchio on a platter, flattening it out to make as even a surface as possible.
5Arrange fruit in concentric rings around the platter; first the cantaloupe on the outside, then half the strawberries inside that.
6Then arrange kiwi, remaining strawberries, and orange slices in the center.
7Stir up dressing again and pour over fruit. Sprinkle with almonds. Buon Appetito!
