📝 Instructions

9 steps

1. Cut the honeydew melon in half and remove the seeds. Use a melon baller to scoop out round balls of melon flesh and set them aside in a large mixing bowl.

2. Dice the ham into small, bite-sized cubes and add it to the bowl with the melon.

3. Peel the cucumber if desired, and slice it into thin rounds. Add the cucumber slices to the bowl.

4. Crumble the feta cheese and add it to the salad mixture.

5. Thinly slice the red onion and chop the fresh mint leaves. Add both to the salad.

6. In a small bowl, prepare the dressing by whisking together the olive oil, lemon juice, honey, salt, and black pepper until well combined.

7. Drizzle the dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine all the ingredients and coat them evenly.

8. Arrange the mixed greens on a serving platter or in a large salad bowl. Spoon the honeydew ham mixture over the greens.

9. Serve immediately or chill in the refrigerator for 15 minutes before serving for a cooler, more refreshing salad.
