People can't resist digging into a salad made with colorful summer fruits. The unique dressing is what makes this salad a crowd-pleaser. I get compliments whenever I serve it, especially when I put it on the table in a melon boat. It's a warm-weather treat. -Terry Saylor, Vermillion, South Dakota Ingredients:

3/4 cup sugar |
3 tablespoons lime juice |

3 cups cubed cantaloupe (about 1 medium melon) |
3 cups cubed honeydew (about 1 medium melon) |
2 cups peach slices (about 2 peaches) |
