Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 whole cantaloupe
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 teaspoon fresh ginger
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 0.5 teaspoon lime zest
- 1 tablespoon water
- 2 tablespoons mint leaves
Instructions
Cut the cantaloupe in half and scoop out the seeds. Use a melon baller to create bite-sized spheres or cut the flesh into small cubes. Set aside in a large serving bowl.
In a small mixing bowl, combine the honey, freshly grated ginger, lime juice, lime zest, and water. Stir well until the dressing is smooth and fully blended.
Pour the honey ginger dressing over the cantaloupe pieces, gently tossing to coat the fruit evenly.
Roughly chop the mint leaves and sprinkle them over the dressed cantaloupe for a fresh, aromatic finish.
Serve immediately as a refreshing appetizer or dessert, or chill in the refrigerator for 15 minutes for an even cooler treat.
