Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 medium cantaloupe
- 0.5 medium honeydew melon
- 0.5 small watermelon
- 10 leaves fresh mint leaves
- 1 whole lime
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
Instructions
Cut the cantaloupe, honeydew, and watermelon in half and remove the seeds.
Using a melon baller, scoop out balls of fruit from each type of melon and place them in a large mixing bowl. If a melon baller is unavailable, cut the fruit into bite-sized cubes.
Chop the fresh mint leaves finely and add them to the bowl with the melon.
Zest the lime using a fine grater, then cut the lime in half and juice it. Add both the lime zest and juice to the melon mixture.
Drizzle the honey over the salad, then add the salt. Gently toss everything together until well combined, ensuring the fruit is evenly coated.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Serve the melon salad chilled on individual plates or in a large serving bowl, garnished with additional mint leaves if desired.
