Ingredients
- 0.5 whole watermelon
- 0.5 whole cantaloupe
- 0.5 whole honeydew melon
- 10 leaves fresh mint leaves
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 1 teaspoon lime zest
Directions
Step 1
Begin by cutting the watermelon, cantaloupe, and honeydew in half and removing any seeds with a spoon.
Step 2
Using a melon baller, carefully scoop balls out of each melon half and place them into a large mixing bowl.
Step 3
Once all the melon balls are prepared, finely chop the fresh mint leaves and add them to the bowl with the melon.
Step 4
Juice the lime and measure out two tablespoons of lime juice, pouring it over the melon balls.
Step 5
Zest the lime to gather one teaspoon of zest. Be careful not to get the white pith, which can be bitter.
Step 6
Add the lime zest to the melon salad and gently toss everything together to mix well.
Step 7
Refrigerate the salad for at least 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together before serving.
Step 8
Serve chilled, optionally garnishing with additional mint leaves for visual appeal.
