Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 whole Honeydew melon
- 2 whole Lime
- 1 tablespoon Honey (optional)
- 5 leaves Fresh mint leaves (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Start by washing the honeydew melon under cold running water, then pat it dry with a clean towel.
Place the honeydew melon on a cutting board and carefully cut it in half lengthwise. Scoop out the seeds with a spoon and discard them.
Using a melon baller or a sharp knife, scoop or chop the flesh of the honeydew melon into bite-sized pieces.
Transfer the melon pieces to a large serving bowl or individual serving dishes.
Wash the limes thoroughly and cut them in half. Squeeze the juice from both limes over the honeydew melon pieces, making sure to distribute it evenly.
If desired, drizzle the honey over the melon pieces for added sweetness. This step is optional, depending on your taste preference and the natural sweetness of the melon.
Gently toss the melon pieces to coat them with the lime juice (and honey, if used).
For an extra touch, garnish with a few fresh mint leaves before serving.
Serve immediately or refrigerate for 10–15 minutes before serving to enjoy it chilled.
