Melon Ball Scoops

Method

Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Prepare the Melons

    Using a melon baller, scoop out balls from the watermelon, cantaloupe, and honeydew melon. Aim for approximately 1-inch balls for a uniform size.

  2. 2

    Combine the Melon Balls

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the scooped melon balls from all three types of melons. Gently toss them together to mix.

  3. 3

    Make the Dressing

    In a small bowl, whisk together the lime juice, honey, and salt until well combined.

  4. 4

    Add Dressing and Mint

    Pour the dressing over the mixed melon balls and add the chopped mint leaves. Toss gently to coat the melon balls evenly with the dressing.

  5. 5

    Chill and Serve

    Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. Serve chilled as a refreshing appetizer or dessert.
