- 10 leaves Fresh mint leaves
- 0.5 cup Orange juice
- 2 tablespoons Lime juice
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 1 teaspoon Lime zest

Directions
Step 1
Begin by preparing the melons. Slice the cantaloupe, honeydew, and watermelon in half, remove the seeds, and use a melon baller to scoop out melon balls. Alternatively, you can cut the melons into bite-sized cubes. Place the prepared melon pieces into a large bowl.
Step 2
Finely chop the fresh mint leaves and set aside for garnish.
Step 3
To make the dressing, whisk together the orange juice, lime juice, honey, lime zest, and salt in a small bowl until well combined.
Step 4
Pour the orange-lime dressing over the melon balls in the bowl. Toss gently to ensure all the melon pieces are evenly coated.
Step 5
Sprinkle the chopped mint leaves over the melon salad for garnish.
Step 6
Cover the salad with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 10 minutes to let the flavors meld together.
Step 7
Serve the chilled melon salad as a side dish, appetizer, or light dessert.
