• 1 medium cantaloupe
• 1 medium honeydew
• 0.5 medium watermelon
• 0.5 cup fresh mint leaves
• 2 whole lime
• 0.25 teaspoon salt

Directions

Step 1

Begin by thoroughly washing all the fruits and the mint leaves under cold running water.

Step 2

Cut the cantaloupe, honeydew, and watermelon in half and remove all seeds using a spoon.

Step 3

Using a melon baller or a sharp knife, scoop or dice all the melons into bite-sized pieces. Aim for about 1-inch cubes or balls.

Step 4

Place the melon pieces into a large mixing bowl.

Step 5

Finely chop the mint leaves and sprinkle them over the melon pieces.

Step 6

Zest one of the limes using a microplane or zester and add the zest to the bowl.

Step 7

Juice both limes and pour the juice over the melon salad.

Step 8

Add a pinch of salt to enhance the natural flavors of the fruit.

Step 9

Gently toss everything together using a large spoon to ensure the melon pieces are evenly coated with the lime juice and mint.

Step 10

Transfer the melon salad to a serving dish or individual bowls. Optionally, you can chill the salad in the refrigerator for 10-15 minutes before serving for an even more refreshing experience.
