Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups 1/2-inch cubes honeydew melon (1/2 medium)
  • 1 1/2 cups 1/2-inch cubes cantaloupe (1/2 medium)
  • 1 teaspoon grated lime peel
  • 3 tablespoons lime juice
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh or 1 tablespoon dried mint leaves
  • 1 teaspoon honey
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Steps

  • 1
    In medium glass or plastic bowl, toss ingredients.
  • 2
    Cover; refrigerate about 2 hours or until chilled.

Expert Tips

  • tip 1
    Select cantaloupe and honeydew melons by smelling the soft stem end. A sweet, fruity fragrance means ripeness. Store both varieties of melon at room temperature until they are ripe, then keep them in the refrigerator.
  • tip 2
    Instead of cubing the melons, cut into balls with a melon baller.
