Melon Salad with Chile and Lime
A colorful, cool and juicy melon salad in the Mexican tradition ~ the perfect summer side!
Servings: 8
Ingredients
- 4 cups seedless watermelon, cut in small dice
- 2 cups cantaloupe, cut in small dice
- 2 cups honeydew melon, cut in small dice
- 2 cups Tuscan melon, cut in small dice
- 1/3 cup red onion, minced
- 1 jalapeño, finely minced, optional
- the juice of a large lime, or more to taste
- 1/4 cup cilantro, chopped*
- 1/2 tsp chipotle chile powder
Instructions
- Toss everything together in a large bowl. Taste to see if you'd like to add more lime juice, or chile powder.
- The salad can be served immediately, or chilled until needed. I recommend chilling for an hour or so which will make the salad more refreshing. Juices will collect at the bottom of the bowl, so I gently toss again before each serving.
- Store leftover melon salad covered in the refrigerator. Best eaten the same day it's made.
Notes
*Substitute fresh mint.
