Take advantage of the many varieties of melons to create a delicious fruit salad with a sweet and tangy flavour. This is the best watermelon salad and is the perfect end to a great meal.
Cut the yellow watermelon into bite size cubes. Remove rind.
Cut the Canary melon, honeydew and cantaloupe in half. Leave the rind on and remove the seeds with a spoon. Ball all the melons using different sized ballers if available.
Hand tear the mint leaves.
Salad Dressing
Whisk the honey, maple syrup and the juice of the lime and orange in a small mixing bowl.
Assembly
Add the melons, mint and dressing together and mix gently.
Serve immediately if you don’t want the watermelon to water.
Notes
If Champagne watermelon is not available, use the traditional red crimson fleshed watermelon.
If Canary melon is not available, try looking for the Piel de Sapo melon.
If you don’t want the dressing to be too juicy, reduce the amount of lime and orange juice added to the dressing.
On a truly hot summer’s day, you can serve a cold fruit salad by using melons straight out of the fridge.
