Steps
You’ll need: cutting board, large bowl, melon baller (optional).
- Scrub the outside of each melon under running water before cutting; a knife can carry germs from the rind into the fruit.
- Cut or scoop the melons and combine in a large bowl.
- Stir the lime juice and honey together, pour over and toss. Scatter the mint over the top.
Make aheadCut melon keeps 3 days in the fridge.
🧒 With kidsKids can use the melon baller with help. Honey is not safe for babies under 1 year old.
Vegan swapUse maple syrup instead of honey.
