Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 whole honeydew melon
- 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
- 1 teaspoon lime zest
- 1 teaspoon fresh ginger
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 5 leaves fresh mint leaves (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Cut the honeydew melon in half and scoop out the seeds using a spoon.
Using a melon baller or a sharp knife, scoop or cut the honeydew into bite-sized balls or cubes. Place them in a large mixing bowl.
In a small bowl, whisk together the fresh lime juice, lime zest, and honey until well combined.
Peel and finely grate the fresh ginger to yield 1 teaspoon. Add it to the lime and honey mixture and whisk again.
Pour the dressing over the honeydew melon in the mixing bowl. Gently toss to coat the melon evenly with the dressing.
Transfer the dressed honeydew to a serving dish and garnish with fresh mint leaves if desired.
Serve immediately for the freshest flavor, or refrigerate for up to 2 hours before serving to let the flavors meld.
