Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 medium (about 4-5 cups cubed) Cantaloupe
- 2 medium Avocado
- 2 medium Lime
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons, chopped Fresh mint leaves
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 3 cups Mixed greens (optional)
Instructions
Cut the cantaloupe in half and remove the seeds. Use a melon baller or cube the cantaloupe into bite-sized pieces. Place the cantaloupe in a large mixing bowl.
Cut the avocados in half, remove the pits, and carefully scoop the flesh out with a spoon. Dice the avocado into medium-sized chunks and add them to the bowl with the cantaloupe.
In a small bowl, whisk together the juice of the limes, honey, and olive oil until well combined. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
Pour the honey lime vinaigrette over the cantaloupe and avocado mixture. Gently toss to coat, being careful not to mash the avocado.
Sprinkle the chopped mint leaves over the salad and gently fold them in for a pop of freshness.
If desired, serve the salad over a bed of mixed greens for added texture and flavor.
Serve immediately as a refreshing side dish or light main course. Enjoy!
