  • 1 cantaloupe
  • 1 honeydew melon
  • Juice of 2 limes
  • Handful of fresh Thai basil leaves

  • Fruit baller (to create melon balls)

 

Directions:

  3. In a separate small bowl, combine the lime juice, Thai basil leaves (roughly chopped), and maple syrup. Give it a good stir to create the zesty dressing.
  4. Drizzle the lime and Thai basil dressing over the melon balls in the salad bowl. Gently toss to ensure all the melon balls are coated with the refreshing flavors.
  5. Let the salad marinate in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes to allow the flavors to mingle and intensify.
  6. Just before serving, give the salad a gentle toss to redistribute the dressing. Garnish with a few fresh Thai basil leaves for an extra pop of color and aroma.
  7. Get ready to impress your guests with this simple, cool, and colorful summer salad!❤️💚🧡

 

Embrace the simplicity and beauty of this salad, which not only looks cool but also tastes incredible. So grab your fruit baller, mix up that zesty dressing, and create a salad that will impress both your taste buds and your guests. Enjoy the goodness of summer in every juicy bite!
