Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 medium-sized (about 4 cups when cubed) Cantaloupe
- 2 cups Mini marshmallows
- 1 container (8 ounces) Cool Whip (whipped topping)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar
- 2 leaves Fresh mint leaves (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Cut the cantaloupe in half and scoop out the seeds with a spoon. Slice off the rind and chop the cantaloupe into bite-sized cubes. You should yield about 4 cups of cubed cantaloupe.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cubed cantaloupe and mini marshmallows.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the Cool Whip, vanilla extract, lemon juice, and powdered sugar until smooth and well combined.
Gently fold the Cool Whip mixture into the cantaloupe and marshmallow mixture until everything is evenly coated.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to let the flavors meld and the salad chill.
Before serving, garnish with fresh mint leaves if desired for a pop of color and freshness.
Serve the cantaloupe salad cold and enjoy!
