Ginger-Lime Melon Salad

Watermelon is not the only melon that peaks in summer. Cantaloupe and honeydew make all their sense, with their buttered textures and richly floral flavors, so enjoy the loot of the melon season with a unique salad. A simple coating of lime zest and fresh ginger is enough to make the dish consistent. The fruits shine in this dish.

Fresh melon is one of the greatest pleasures of summer. Although delicious, it is eaten alone, we made the juicy fruit even better with the addition of lime and ginger. Just these two ingredients make melon a side dish to prepare for a salad (or dessert) worthy of a party. Because fresh melon is so moisturizing, it's a great option for hot summer days. Feel free to use your favorite melon type, even if we prefer a mixture of watermelon, honeydew, and cantaloupe.
