Ingredients
- 0.5 medium Watermelon
- 1 medium Cantaloupe
- 1 medium Honeydew melon
- 0.5 cup Fresh mint leaves
- 2 medium Lime
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
Directions
Step 1
Start by cutting each melon in half and removing the seeds. Use a melon baller to scoop out ball shapes from the watermelon, cantaloupe, and honeydew melon. Aim for uniform-sized balls for a nice presentation.
Step 2
Transfer all the melon balls into a large mixing bowl.
Step 3
Finely chop the fresh mint leaves. Add the chopped mint to the bowl with the melon balls.
Step 4
In a small bowl, zest and juice the limes. Combine the lime juice and zest with honey and salt. Whisk together until the honey and salt are well dissolved.
Step 5
Pour the lime and honey dressing over the melon and mint mixture. Gently toss everything together until the melon balls are evenly coated with the dressing.
Step 6
Chill the salad in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Step 7
Before serving, give the salad one last gentle toss. Transfer to a serving platter or individual bowls. Serve cold and enjoy the refreshing taste.
