Cantaloupe Salad with Cilantro and Lime

INGREDIENTS

2 Tbsp lime juice (or the juice of one fresh lime)
4 tsp honey
1 Tbsp fresh cilantro or mint, plus more for garnish (optional)
Sea salt, to taste
1 small cantaloupe, cut into 1-inch cubes

DIRECTIONS

Combine the lime juice, honey, cilantro or mint, and salt together in a small bowl and whisk until thoroughly combined.

Toss the cantaloupe with the lime-honey dressing until evenly coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least an hour, to allow the flavours to meld.

Serve chilled, garnished with extra cilantro or mint if desired.

Alternative: Try mixing cantaloupe, honeydew, and watermelon instead of just cantaloupe. For an elegant salad, use a melon baller instead of cubing the melon.
