Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 medium Cantaloupe
- 1 medium Honeydew melon
- 1 small Watermelon
- 0.5 cup Fresh mint leaves
- 2 tablespoons Lime juice
- 1 teaspoon Lime zest
- 1 tablespoon Honey
Instructions
Start by washing all the melons thoroughly under running water. Pat them dry with a clean towel.
Cut each melon in half and remove the seeds using a spoon.
Using a melon baller, scoop out the flesh of the cantaloupe, honeydew melon, and watermelon into round balls and place them into a large mixing bowl. Try to make them all a similar size.
Chop the fresh mint leaves coarsely. Add them to the bowl of melon balls.
In a small bowl, mix together the lime juice, lime zest, and honey until well combined.
Pour the lime and honey dressing over the melon balls and gently toss the salad with a large spoon, ensuring all melon balls are lightly coated with the dressing.
Chill the salad in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving.
Before serving, give the salad another gentle toss, and if desired, garnish with additional mint leaves.
