Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 small Watermelon
- 1 medium Cantaloupe
- 1 medium Honeydew melon
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 0.25 cup Fresh mint leaves
- 1 tablespoon Honey
Instructions
Using a melon baller, scoop ball-shaped pieces from the watermelon, cantaloupe, and honeydew melon, placing them into a large bowl.
If you do not have a melon baller, cut the melons into bite-sized cubes.
In a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice and honey until well combined.
Pour the lemon and honey mixture over the melon balls and gently toss to ensure all the pieces are coated.
Finely chop the fresh mint leaves and sprinkle over the salad.
Gently toss the melon salad again to evenly distribute the mint leaves.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes to let the flavors meld before serving.
Serve chilled, garnishing with additional mint leaves if desired.
