Ingredients

  • Honeydew melon
  • Seedless watermelon
  • Cantaloupe

Instructions

  1. Wash melons and cut each in half. Scoop out and discard seeds (for honeydew and cantaloupe).
  2. Using a melon ball scooper or a rounded teaspoon, scoop balls out of melon flesh. Place in a large bowl.
  3. Gently mix using a spoon or rubber spatula. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.

Notes

  • Use any type of melon you like or have on hand.
  • To get the best melon balls, push the melon ball scooper as far into the flesh as you can and scoop using a rounding motion with your wrist.
  • If you want to get fancy, add some fresh mint or a drizzle of honey!
