The fruits offer some taste surprises

Wash the fruit and vegetables and chop into bite-sized pieces. Quarter the tomatoes lengthwise, remove the green and white stems, and cut them into thirds crosswise. Trim both ends of the small, white radish, peel it, and slice it crosswise into approximately 3 mm thick slices. Quarter the cucumber lengthwise and cut it crosswise into 5 mm thick slices. Trim both ends of the shallots, peel them, and halve them lengthwise and crosswise. Squeeze the garlic cloves. Halve the chili peppers lengthwise, remove the seeds, and cut them crosswise into approximately 1 cm wide pieces. Cut a piece off the honeydew melon and cut it into approximately 8 x 8 mm cubes. Remove a quarter of the bell pepper and cut it into thirds lengthwise and crosswise. Halve an avocado lengthwise and use a ball-shaped spoon to scoop out half-spheres from the flesh. Halve the grapes. Wash the fresh dill, strip the leaves from top to bottom, and chop finely. Combine all prepared ingredients in a large bowl, add the spices, and mix well. Add the vinegar, olive oil, and tuna just before serving. Divide the salad among serving plates, garnish, and serve. Serve with warm white bread.
