  • 1/2 cup fresh blueberries
  • 1/2 cup sliced fresh peaches

To serve salad individually, place one lettuce leaf on each plate. Arrange equal amounts of fresh fruit attractively on plates, leaving room in center for Honey Mayonnaise. Garnish dressing with mint, if desired, and serve chilled. Fruit can also be arranged on lettuce leaves on one large platter with Honey Mayonnaise in center or in a hollowed-out melon.
