Summer Melon, Mint, & Cucumber Salad
Fruit | Veggies | 1/2 Fat
Servings 4
Ingredients
Fruit
- 1 medium cantaloupe, honeydew melon, or watermelon 24 oz
Veggies
- 1 cup cucumber, sliced 8 oz
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved 8 oz
- 1/2 cup red onion finely diced or thinly sliced
Fat
- 2 Tbsp olive oil
- 2 tsp apple cider vinegar
- 3 Tbsp lime juice fresh squeezed
Garnish
- 2 Tbsp fresh mint chopped
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Mix the dressing in a medium bowl and add the cucumbers, onions, and tomatoes. Toss to combine. Let them marinate for a few minutes while you cut up the melon.
- Chop the melon into slices and then cubes or scoop it with a melon baller. Gently fold the melon into the rest of the salad.
- Garnish with the fresh mint and salt and pepper to taste.
- This salad is great made ahead and refrigerated for a few hours, as it allows the flavors to meld. (I wouldn’t make it more than 8 hours ahead though).
Notes
- This salad is yummy without the oil too, feel free to leave it out or add feta cheese or nuts as a garnish.
