Ingredients

• 1 whole ripe cantaloupe or honeydew melon
• 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 1 tablespoon lime juice
• 1 teaspoon lime zest
• 5 leaves fresh mint leaves (optional, for garnish)
• 0.5 teaspoons coarse sea salt (optional, for topping)

Directions

Step 1

Slice the cantaloupe or honeydew melon in half and scoop out the seeds using a spoon.

Step 2

Using a melon baller, scoop out small, round spheres of melon and place them into a large serving bowl. If a melon baller isn’t available, you can also cut the melon into bite-sized cubes.

Step 3

In a small bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, honey, lime juice, and lime zest. Mix well until smooth and creamy.

Step 4

Drizzle the yogurt mixture lightly over the melon balls, ensuring even coverage. Reserve some yogurt mixture for serving optionally on the side.

Step 5

Gently toss the melon and yogurt mixture together, being careful not to crush the melon pieces.

Step 6

Garnish with fresh mint leaves for a pop of color and added aroma.

Step 7

For a sweet-and-salty flavor profile, sprinkle a pinch of coarse sea salt over the top before serving (optional).

Step 8

Serve immediately or chill in the refrigerator for 10–15 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld. Enjoy!
