Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 medium Cantaloupe melon
- 1 medium Honeydew melon
- 0.5 small Watermelon
- 2 whole Lime
- 0.5 cup Fresh mint leaves
- 0.25 teaspoon Sea salt
- 1 tablespoon Chia seeds
Instructions
Start by cutting the cantaloupe melon in half and removing the seeds. Use a melon baller or a small spoon to scoop out balls of cantaloupe and place them in a large mixing bowl.
Repeat the process with the honeydew melon, cutting it in half, removing seeds, and scooping out melon balls. Add these to the bowl with the cantaloupe.
Cut the small watermelon in half. Using the same balling method, scoop out watermelon balls and add them to the mix of cantaloupe and honeydew.
Slice the limes in half and squeeze their juice over the mixed melons. Toss gently to evenly coat the melon balls with lime juice.
Finely chop the fresh mint leaves and sprinkle them over the salad.
Add a pinch of sea salt and sprinkle the chia seeds over the melon mixture. Toss everything together to combine flavors well.
Chill the salad in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld and to enjoy a cool, refreshing bite.
Serve the Keto Refreshing Melon Salad cold in individual bowls or on a large platter, garnished with additional mint leaves for an elegant presentation.
