Cantalope Salad Recipe

Ingredients:

3 1/2 cups (approximately) cantaloupe balls

1/4 cup mint leaves, packed

1/4 cup lemon juice (about 1 and 1/2 lemons)

Olive oil drizzle

chopped red onion (optional, but gives it a little spice)

Directions:

- Next, using a melon baller, scoop about 2 cups of cantaloupe into a large mixing bowl and set aside. If you don’t have a melon baller you can always cut up the cantaloupe into about 1-1 1/2″ squares.

- blend mint and lemon juice in a blender until mint is finely chopped.

- Pour a SMALL amount at a time of the mixture and drizzle olive oil over the cantaloupe pieces and combine well. Do this a little at a time to make sure you get the right flavor. Some like more mint flavor and some don't... palates are different. You can be the judge, it's your salad. :)

- Serve right away, or cover and refrigerate until needed.
