Ingredients

• 0.5 medium Watermelon
• 0.5 medium Cantaloupe
• 0.5 medium Honeydew melon
• 1 tablespoon Fresh mint leaves
• 1 small Lemon
• 1 small Lime

Directions

Step 1

Start by preparing the melons. Cut each of the watermelons, cantaloupes, and honeydew melons in half. Use a melon baller to scoop out round balls of fruit from all three types of melons. Place all melon balls into a large mixing bowl.

Step 2

Rinse the fresh mint leaves thoroughly under cold water, pat dry with a paper towel, and then chop them finely. Add the chopped mint to the bowl of melon balls.

Step 3

Zest the lemon and lime using a fine grater or zester. Be sure to only take off the colorful outer peel, avoiding the bitter white pith underneath. Add the zested citrus to the bowl.

Step 4

Cut the lemon and lime in half and juice them. Be careful to remove any seeds. Stir the juice from both fruits into the melon ball mixture to add a refreshing tang and to help keep the salad fresh.

Step 5

Gently toss the salad to combine all ingredients without mashing the melon balls. Taste and adjust if necessary, perhaps by adding more mint or citrus zest for added flavor.

Step 6

Cover the bowl with food wrap and let it chill in the refrigerator for at least 20 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld together.

Step 7

Serve chilled as a light dessert or snack. Enjoy the naturally sweet flavors without the need for added sugar.
