Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 whole watermelon
- 0.5 whole cantaloupe
- 0.5 whole honeydew melon
- 10 leaves fresh mint leaves
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 1 teaspoon lime zest
Instructions
Begin by cutting the watermelon, cantaloupe, and honeydew in half and removing any seeds with a spoon.
Using a melon baller, carefully scoop balls out of each melon half and place them into a large mixing bowl.
Once all the melon balls are prepared, finely chop the fresh mint leaves and add them to the bowl with the melon.
Juice the lime and measure out two tablespoons of lime juice, pouring it over the melon balls.
Zest the lime to gather one teaspoon of zest. Be careful not to get the white pith, which can be bitter.
Add the lime zest to the melon salad and gently toss everything together to mix well.
Refrigerate the salad for at least 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together before serving.
Serve chilled, optionally garnishing with additional mint leaves for visual appeal.
