Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 medium cantaloupe
- 1 medium honeydew
- 0.5 medium watermelon
- 0.5 cup fresh mint leaves
- 2 whole lime
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
Instructions
Begin by thoroughly washing all the fruits and the mint leaves under cold running water.
Cut the cantaloupe, honeydew, and watermelon in half and remove all seeds using a spoon.
Using a melon baller or a sharp knife, scoop or dice all the melons into bite-sized pieces. Aim for about 1-inch cubes or balls.
Place the melon pieces into a large mixing bowl.
Finely chop the mint leaves and sprinkle them over the melon pieces.
Zest one of the limes using a microplane or zester and add the zest to the bowl.
Juice both limes and pour the juice over the melon salad.
Add a pinch of salt to enhance the natural flavors of the fruit.
Gently toss everything together using a large spoon to ensure the melon pieces are evenly coated with the lime juice and mint.
Transfer the melon salad to a serving dish or individual bowls. Optionally, you can chill the salad in the refrigerator for 10-15 minutes before serving for an even more refreshing experience.
