Ingredients
1
small
Seedless Watermelon
(about 4 cups of melon balls or cubes)
1
Cantaloupe
(about 4 cups of melon balls or cubes)
1
Honeydew Melon
(about 4 cups of melon balls or cubes)
2
Limes
zested, and juice of 1 lime
2
tablespoon
Honey
1
tablespoon
Grated Fresh Ginger
Mint for garnish
Instructions
Wash and dry all the melons.
Cut the watermelon in half, and use a melon baller to scoop out balls of melon, using the whole melon (you should have about 4 cups of watermelon).
Cut the cantaloupe in half, scoop out and discard the seeds, and use the melon baller to make balls out of the entire melon.
Repeat with the honeydew melon.
Combine the lime zest and juice, honey, and ginger in a bowl, and whisk to combine.
Pour the dressing over the melon, and toss to combine.
Use fresh mint leaves, or chop about 1-2 teaspoons of fresh mint to top the salad, if desired.
Notes
If you don’t have a melon baller, cutting the melons into cubes will work just as well.
