Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Watermelon
- 2 cups Cantaloupe
- 2 cups Honeydew melon
- 1.5 cups Mixed berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, blackberries)
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 6 leaves Fresh mint leaves
- 1 pinch Salt
Instructions
Using a melon baller or a sharp knife, scoop or dice the watermelon, cantaloupe, and honeydew melon into bite-sized pieces. Add them to a large mixing bowl.
Rinse the mixed berries thoroughly under cold water. Pat them dry with a paper towel, then add them to the bowl with the melon.
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the honey, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt until the honey is completely dissolved and forms a smooth dressing.
Pour the honey-lemon dressing over the melon and berry mixture. Gently toss everything together to coat the fruit evenly without squishing the berries.
Stack the mint leaves on top of each other, roll them tightly, and slice them into thin ribbons (a technique known as chiffonade). Sprinkle the mint ribbons over the salad.
Serve the Summer Melon Mix Berry Honey Dressing immediately as a refreshing summer side dish or dessert.
