Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 small Watermelon
- 1 small Cantaloupe melon
- 1 small Honeydew melon
- 2 whole Lime
- 10 leaves Fresh mint leaves
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Start by cutting the watermelon, cantaloupe, and honeydew melons in half and remove the seeds using a spoon.
Using a melon baller, scoop out melon balls from each melon half and place them into a large mixing bowl. Aim to have an equal amount of melon balls from each type of melon.
Zest one of the limes and set aside. Juice both limes into a small bowl.
Add the lime zest and honey to the lime juice and whisk together until the honey is completely dissolved.
Finely chop the fresh mint leaves and add them to the lime and honey mixture.
Pour the lime, honey, and mint dressing over the melon balls in the mixing bowl.
Add the salt and black pepper to the melon balls and gently toss everything together until the melon is thoroughly coated with the dressing.
Transfer the salad to a serving dish and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
Serve chilled as a refreshing appetizer or light dessert.
