- 1 medium Honeydew melon
- 1 small Watermelon
- 0.5 cup Fresh mint leaves
- 2 tablespoons Lime juice
- 1 teaspoon Lime zest

Directions
Step 1
Start by washing all the melons thoroughly under running water. Pat them dry with a clean towel.
Step 2
Cut each melon in half and remove the seeds using a spoon.
Step 3
Using a melon baller, scoop out the flesh of the cantaloupe, honeydew melon, and watermelon into round balls and place them into a large mixing bowl. Try to make them all a similar size.
Step 4
Chop the fresh mint leaves coarsely. Add them to the bowl of melon balls.
Step 5
In a small bowl, mix together the lime juice, lime zest, and honey until well combined.
Step 6
Pour the lime and honey dressing over the melon balls and gently toss the salad with a large spoon, ensuring all melon balls are lightly coated with the dressing.
Step 7
Chill the salad in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving.
Step 8
Before serving, give the salad another gentle toss, and if desired, garnish with additional mint leaves.
