Ingredients

• 1 whole ripe cantaloupe melon
• 1 whole ripe honeydew melon
• 1 cup fresh strawberries
• 1 cup fresh blueberries
• 10 leaves fresh mint leaves
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice

Directions

Step 1

Cut each melon in half and remove the seeds using a spoon, creating a hollow bowl in each half. Set the melon bowls aside to use as serving vessels.

Step 2

Using a melon baller, scoop out the flesh from the cantaloupe and honeydew melons, forming small uniform balls. Place the melon balls in a large mixing bowl.

Step 3

Hull and slice the strawberries and add them to the mixing bowl along with the blueberries.

Step 4

Finely chop the fresh mint leaves and sprinkle them over the fruit salad.

Step 5

In a small bowl, mix together the honey and fresh lime juice until well combined.

Step 6

Drizzle the honey-lime mixture over the fruit salad and gently toss to coat all the pieces evenly.

Step 7

Spoon the dressed fruit salad into the reserved melon bowls, dividing it equally among the four halves.

Step 8

Garnish with additional mint leaves if desired before serving.

Step 9

Serve the melon cups immediately as a refreshing starter or light dessert.
