Melon and nectarine salad
Description
The recipe won't take much time. Nectarines and melons are quite juicy, so they quickly start releasing juice, making the salad watery. However, a sauce resembling the consistency of kissel prevents this from happening. You can use any light-colored juice without sugar to preserve the natural color of the fruits and melon. Melon juice works perfectly. If you use juice with sugar, add it to taste. Mint complements the salad wonderfully with its aroma, but if you don't like it, simply omit it. Serve at once.
