Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 medium cantaloupe
- 1 medium honeydew melon
- 0.5 medium watermelon
- 10 large fresh mint leaves
- 1 medium lime
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
Instructions
Slice the cantaloupe, honeydew, and watermelon in half, and scoop out any seeds using a spoon.
Using a melon baller, scoop out balls from each half of the cantaloupe, honeydew, and watermelon. Aim for uniform size balls for consistency. Place all the melon balls in a large mixing bowl.
Finely chop the fresh mint leaves. Add them to the bowl with the melon balls.
Zest the entire lime and then juice it. Add both the zest and the juice to the mixing bowl.
Drizzle the honey over the melon balls and sprinkle with salt. Gently toss the salad ensuring the honey, salt, and lime zest are evenly distributed.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate for at least 10 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld together.
Serve the salad chilled as a refreshing appetizer or dessert.
