Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 medium Watermelon
- 0.5 medium Cantaloupe
- 0.5 medium Honeydew melon
- 0.25 cup Fresh mint leaves
- 1 whole Lime
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 0.125 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
Using a melon baller, scoop out balls from the watermelon, cantaloupe, and honeydew melon. Aim to get an equal number from each fruit, around 1 to 1.5 cups of each when using a medium-sized melon.
Place the melon balls in a large mixing bowl.
Finely chop the fresh mint leaves and add to the bowl with the melon balls.
Zest the lime and set aside. Then, juice the lime and add the juice to a small bowl.
Add the honey and salt to the lime juice and whisk together until well combined.
Pour the lime-honey dressing over the melon balls and mint.
Gently toss the melon balls to coat them evenly with the dressing, making sure all ingredients are well incorporated.
Sprinkle the lime zest over the top for an extra burst of citrus flavor.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Serve chilled, garnished with additional mint leaves if desired.
