Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 whole cantaloupe melon
- 1 whole honeydew melon
- 2 cups green grapes
- 3 tablespoons fresh lime juice
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 8 leaves fresh mint leaves
Instructions
Cut the cantaloupe melon in half, scoop out the seeds, and use a melon baller to create small spheres. Set the melon balls aside in a large mixing bowl.
Repeat the same process with the honeydew melon, creating melon balls and adding them to the same bowl.
Wash the green grapes thoroughly and pat them dry. Cut them in half lengthwise and add them to the bowl with the melons.
In a small bowl, whisk together the fresh lime juice and honey until well combined to form the dressing.
Pour the lime-honey dressing over the melon and grape mixture and gently toss to coat all the fruit evenly.
Chop the fresh mint leaves finely and sprinkle them over the salad just before serving.
Serve the salad chilled as a light, refreshing appetizer or side dish. Enjoy!
