Ingredients

• 1 medium-sized Yellow melon
• 1 medium-sized Muscatel melon
• 2 tablespoons Fresh mint leaves
• 3 tablespoons Lime juice
• 2 tablespoons Honey
• 1 pinch Sea salt
• 2 tablespoons Optional: Crumbled feta cheese

Directions

Step 1

Cut the yellow melon and muscatel melon in half. Remove the seeds using a spoon.

Step 2

Using a melon baller or a small spoon, scoop out the flesh of both melons into bite-sized balls. Alternatively, you can cut the flesh into cubes if you don’t have a melon baller.

Step 3

Place the melon balls or cubes in a large mixing bowl.

Step 4

Chop the fresh mint leaves finely and add them to the bowl with the melon.

Step 5

In a small bowl, whisk together the lime juice, honey, and a pinch of sea salt to make the dressing.

Step 6

Pour the dressing over the melon and mint mixture. Toss gently to coat all the melon pieces with the dressing.

Step 7

Transfer the salad to a serving dish. If desired, sprinkle crumbled feta cheese on top for a salty contrast to the sweetness of the melon.

Step 8

Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to 2 hours before serving for a chilled and refreshing treat.
