Ingredients

• 1 medium (about 4-5 cups cubed) Cantaloupe
• 2 medium Avocado
• 2 medium Lime
• 2 tablespoons Honey
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons, chopped Fresh mint leaves
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
• 3 cups Mixed greens (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Cut the cantaloupe in half and remove the seeds. Use a melon baller or cube the cantaloupe into bite-sized pieces. Place the cantaloupe in a large mixing bowl.

Step 2

Cut the avocados in half, remove the pits, and carefully scoop the flesh out with a spoon. Dice the avocado into medium-sized chunks and add them to the bowl with the cantaloupe.

Step 3

In a small bowl, whisk together the juice of the limes, honey, and olive oil until well combined. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.

Step 4

Pour the honey lime vinaigrette over the cantaloupe and avocado mixture. Gently toss to coat, being careful not to mash the avocado.

Step 5

Sprinkle the chopped mint leaves over the salad and gently fold them in for a pop of freshness.

Step 6

If desired, serve the salad over a bed of mixed greens for added texture and flavor.

Step 7

Serve immediately as a refreshing side dish or light main course. Enjoy!
