Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 medium Cantaloupe
- 1 medium Honeydew melon
- 0.5 medium Watermelon
- 2 tablespoons Fresh lime juice
- 0.5 cup Fresh mint leaves
- 1 tablespoon Maple syrup
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
Cut the cantaloupe, honeydew melon, and watermelon in half and remove the seeds from the cantaloupe and honeydew.
Using a melon baller, scoop out balls from each melon to yield approximately equal amounts, placing each variety into a large mixing bowl.
In a small bowl, whisk together the fresh lime juice, maple syrup, and a pinch of salt until the mixture is well combined.
Drizzle the lime dressing over the bowl of melon balls, and gently toss them to ensure an even coating of the dressing.
Chop the fresh mint leaves into fine ribbons, then sprinkle them over the salad.
Gently toss the melon ball salad again to distribute the mint evenly. Adjust seasoning if necessary.
Transfer the melon ball salad to a serving bowl or individual plates, and serve immediately or chill for up to an hour before serving.
