Ingredients

• 1 medium cantaloupe
• 1 small watermelon
• 10 leaves fresh mint leaves
• 1 whole lime
• 1 tablespoon honey
• 1 pinch salt

Directions

Step 1

Cut the cantaloupe in half and scoop out the seeds. Use a melon baller or a spoon to scoop the flesh into bite-sized balls and place them in a large mixing bowl.

Zest the lime and set aside the zest. Juice the lime and combine the juice with the honey and a pinch of salt in a small bowl. Whisk until well combined to create a dressing.

Step 5

Drizzle the lime-honey dressing over the melon balls and gently toss to coat evenly.

Step 6

Sprinkle the lime zest over the salad for an extra burst of citrus flavor.
