Ingredients
- 0.5 medium Watermelon
- 0.5 medium Cantaloupe
- 0.5 medium Honeydew melon
- 1 large Lime
- 10 leaves Fresh mint leaves
- 0.25 teaspoon Sea salt
- 1 tablespoon Honey (optional for added sweetness, ensure it's vegan if keeping strict vegan)
Directions
Step 1
Start by thoroughly washing all the melons under cold water. Pat them dry with a kitchen towel.
Step 2
Using a sharp knife, cut the watermelon, cantaloupe, and honeydew melons in half. Remove any seeds with a spoon.
Step 3
Take a melon baller and scoop out balls from each half of the melons. You should aim for uniform-sized balls for a good mix in the salad.
Step 4
Place all the melon balls in a large serving bowl.
Step 5
Roll the lime on the countertop to loosen the juice. Slice it in half and squeeze the juice over the melon balls, ensuring even distribution.
Step 6
Finely chop the fresh mint leaves and sprinkle them over the melon balls.
Step 7
Add sea salt and gently toss everything together using a large spoon, taking care not to crush the melon balls.
Step 8
If desired, drizzle honey over the salad and toss gently again for an added touch of sweetness.
Step 9
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
Step 10
Serve chilled and enjoy your refreshing Dairy-Free Fresh Melon Balls Salad as a snack or a side dish.
