This fresh and delicious salad recipe is good any time of the year, because melons are usually available throughout the year.

Prep Time: 25 minutes

Total Time: 25 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 1/3 cup honey
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1/2 cup raspberry or orange juice
  • 3 Tbsp. lemon juice
  • 2 Tbsp. chopped fresh mint leaves or 1/2 tsp. dried mint
  • 4 cups cantaloupe balls
  • 2 cups honeydew melon balls
  • 2 cups watermelon balls

Preparation:

In a small microwave-safe bowl, combine honey with sugar. Microwave on high power for 30 seconds; remove and stir. Microwave 30 seconds longer until sugar dissolves.

Stir and let stand for 10 minutes. Add raspberry or orange juice, lemon juice, and mint and mix well.

Place melon balls in large serving bowl and pour honey mixture over. Toss gently to coat and serve immediately or cover and refrigerate until serving time. Serves 12

Best salad dressing, Guest

The salad dressing for this recipe is outstanding. I use it with greens and fruit like strawberries too. The dressing really makes ordinary melons a treat. Thanks for the wonderful recipe!
