Ingredients

• 1 large Honeydew melon
• 200 grams Ham
• 1 medium Cucumber
• 100 grams Feta cheese
• 4 cups Mixed greens
• 0.5 medium Red onion
• 2 tablespoons Fresh mint leaves
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon Honey
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Cut the honeydew melon in half and remove the seeds. Use a melon baller to scoop out round balls of melon flesh and set them aside in a large mixing bowl.

Step 2

Dice the ham into small, bite-sized cubes and add it to the bowl with the melon.

Step 3

Peel the cucumber if desired, and slice it into thin rounds. Add the cucumber slices to the bowl.

Step 4

Crumble the feta cheese and add it to the salad mixture.

Step 5

Thinly slice the red onion and chop the fresh mint leaves. Add both to the salad.

Step 6

In a small bowl, prepare the dressing by whisking together the olive oil, lemon juice, honey, salt, and black pepper until well combined.

Step 7

Drizzle the dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine all the ingredients and coat them evenly.

Step 8

Arrange the mixed greens on a serving platter or in a large salad bowl. Spoon the honeydew ham mixture over the greens.

Step 9

Serve immediately or chill in the refrigerator for 15 minutes before serving for a cooler, more refreshing salad.
