Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups Cantaloupe (ripe, peeled, seeded, and cubed)
- 4 cups Honeydew melon (ripe, peeled, seeded, and cubed)
- 1 cup Plain Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons Fresh lime juice
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 4 for garnish Fresh mint leaves
- 1 optional Pinch of salt
Instructions
Divide the preparation into two equal portions: one for the cantaloupe and one for the honeydew soup.
In a blender, combine the cantaloupe, 1/2 cup of Greek yogurt, 1 tablespoon of lime juice, 1 tablespoon of honey, and an optional pinch of salt.
Blend until smooth and creamy. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
Pour the cantaloupe mixture into a container and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to chill.
Rinse the blender and repeat the process with the honeydew melon, using the remaining 1/2 cup of Greek yogurt, 1 tablespoon of lime juice, 1 tablespoon of honey, and an optional pinch of salt.
Blend until smooth, taste, and adjust if necessary. Refrigerate the honeydew mixture for at least 1 hour.
When ready to serve, pour equal portions of the chilled cantaloupe mixture and the honeydew mixture simultaneously into opposite sides of a bowl. This will create a visually stunning two-tone effect.
Garnish each bowl with a fresh mint leaf and serve immediately.
