Description

Sweet, cool and completely refreshing, this salad is the perfect answer to summer heat.

Ingredients

  • FOR THE VINAIGRETTE:
  • ¼ cups Fresh Squeezed Lime Juice
  • ¼ cups White Wine Vinegar
  • ¼ cups Honey
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon Mustard
  • ½ teaspoons Sea Salt
  • 3 Tablespoons Rough Chopped Mint Leaves
  • ½ cups Neutral-flavored Salad Oil (I Used Grapeseed Oil)
  • FOR THE SALAD:
  • 6 cups Watermelon Balls
  • 4 cups Honeydew Melon Balls
  • 1 whole Large Mango, Peeled, Seeded And Thnly Sliced (1/8-inch Slices)
  • 6 ounces, weight Blackberries, Rinsed And Drained
  • Whole Mint Leaves, For Garnish (optional)

Preparation

For the vinaigrette:
To a blender add the lime juice, vinegar, honey, Dijon mustard and salt. Blitz to combine. Add the mint and blitz until mint is well chopped. Scrape down sides of blender as necessary.

With the blender running on medium speed, slowly drizzle the oil through the funnel in the lid and process until combined. Pour into a covered and refrigerate for 1-2 hours, until thoroughly chilled and flavors have blended.

For the salad:
In a large bowl, gently toss together the melon balls. Add the mango slices and blackberries and very gently toss to combine. Garnish with mint leaves as desired. Cover and chill well. When ready to serve, pass the vinaigrette with the salad.

Notes:
1. Be sure to wash the outside of the melons very well prior to cutting.
2. Nectarines are a good alternative for the mangoes.
3. Blueberries can be used instead of blackberries.
4. If desired, in place of the Honey-Mint Vinaigrette, the salad can be sprinkled with finely chopped mint, drizzled with lime juice and honey and sprinkled with salt.
