Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 whole honeydew melon
- 4 cups mixed greens
- 1 cup walnuts
- 0.5 cup feta cheese
- 2 tablespoons fresh mint leaves
- 3 tablespoons lime juice
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
Instructions
Slice the honeydew melon in half and remove the seeds. Use a melon baller or a spoon to scoop out bite-sized pieces, or cut the melon into 1-inch cubes. Set aside.
Toast the walnuts in a dry skillet over medium heat for 4-5 minutes, stirring frequently until fragrant and lightly golden. Remove from heat and let them cool.
In a small bowl, whisk together lime juice, honey, olive oil, salt, and black pepper to create the dressing.
In a large salad bowl, combine the mixed greens, honeydew melon, cooled toasted walnuts, crumbled feta cheese, and chopped mint leaves.
Drizzle the dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine all the ingredients evenly.
Serve immediately and enjoy this refreshing Honeydew Walnut Salad!
