Melon Salad with Honey, Lime, and Mint

This melon salad recipe is perfect for summertime picnics and barbecues. Ant the refreshingly zesty and sweet dressing is so easy to make!

One tip: I like to roll the limes on the countertops with the heel of my hand before zesting them as it makes them easier to juice. Then all you have to do is zest the outer peel, then cut the limes in half to juice.

For this melon salad, the dressing is pretty simple. Simply whisk together honey, a bit of lime zest, and mint.

Once you mix the lime juice and zest with the sweetness of the honey and the zing of the ginger, I think you'll find this melon salad super refreshing on a hot day.

When purchasing honeydew and cantaloupe, I always look for them pre-cut in half our local produce market. This helps with knowing they are ripe and ready to eat. Plus, it saves the hassle of cutting these really tough melons in half.

Once the melons are cut in half, all you need is a melon baller to scoop out the fruit. If you don't already have a melon baller, I highly recommend getting one as it makes it so easy to cut and prepare melons.

You can serve this melon salad family style in one big bowl. It's a great side dish for picnics and barbecues. And if you make it the night before, the melon will be refreshingly cold and the dressing will have a chance to infuse in the fruit.
