Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups (cubed) Watermelon
- 3 cups (cubed) Cantaloupe
- 3 cups (cubed) Honeydew melon
- 2 tablespoons Lime juice
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 2 tablespoons (chopped) Fresh mint leaves
- 1 pinch Salt
- 1 teaspoon Optional garnish: lime zest
Instructions
Prepare the melons by cutting the watermelon, cantaloupe, and honeydew into bite-sized cubes. Alternatively, use a melon baller for a decorative touch.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cubed watermelon, cantaloupe, and honeydew melon.
In a small bowl, whisk together the lime juice, honey, and a pinch of salt until the honey is fully dissolved.
Drizzle the citrus dressing over the melon mixture and gently toss to coat the fruit evenly.
Sprinkle the chopped fresh mint leaves over the salad and toss lightly to distribute.
Taste and adjust sweetness or acidity by adding more honey or lime juice, if desired.
For an extra layer of flavor, sprinkle the salad with lime zest before serving.
Serve immediately or chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
