- 2 tablespoons Lime juice
- 1 teaspoon Lime zest

Instructions
Start by cutting the cantaloupe and honeydew melon in half and removing the seeds with a spoon.
Using a melon baller, scoop out ball-shaped pieces from the cantaloupe and honeydew. Alternatively, you can cut the melons into small cubes. Place them in a large mixing bowl.
Cut the watermelon into halves. Remove the outer rind and cut the watermelon flesh into small cubes or use a melon baller to create ball shapes. Add the watermelon to the bowl with the other melons.
Rinse the fresh mint leaves under cold water, then pat them dry with a paper towel. Chop the mint leaves into small pieces and add them to the bowl with the melon.
In a small bowl, combine the lime juice and lime zest, and stir well. Drizzle the mixture over the melon and mint.
Sprinkle salt and black pepper over the salad, then gently toss all ingredients together until well combined.
Cover the bowl and refrigerate the salad for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow flavors to meld.
Serve chilled and enjoy this refreshing low-carb melon salad.
