Ingredients

• 0.5 medium Watermelon
• 0.5 medium Cantaloupe
• 0.5 medium Honeydew melon
• 0.25 cup Fresh mint leaves
• 1 whole Lime
• 1 tablespoon Honey
• 0.125 teaspoon Salt

Directions

Step 1

Using a melon baller, scoop out balls from the watermelon, cantaloupe, and honeydew melon. Aim to get an equal number from each fruit, around 1 to 1.5 cups of each when using a medium-sized melon.

Step 2

Place the melon balls in a large mixing bowl.

Step 3

Finely chop the fresh mint leaves and add to the bowl with the melon balls.

Step 4

Zest the lime and set aside. Then, juice the lime and add the juice to a small bowl.

Step 5

Add the honey and salt to the lime juice and whisk together until well combined.

Step 6

Pour the lime-honey dressing over the melon balls and mint.

Step 7

Gently toss the melon balls to coat them evenly with the dressing, making sure all ingredients are well incorporated.

Step 8

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

Step 9

Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

Step 10

Serve chilled, garnished with additional mint leaves if desired.
