Let’s Make Blackberry Melon Salad with Honey Lime Dressing

  1. Slice the melon in half and remove and discard the seeds using a large spoon.
  2. Use a melon baller to cut pretty circles of the melon flesh. If you don’t have a melon baller, slice the melon into bite-sized pieces.
  3. Place mixed greens in a large serving dish or on a platter.
  4. Top the greens with the melon balls or pieces.
  5. Add the blackberries. If the blackberries are very large, slice them in half or in thirds so they are fork-sized bites.
  6. Mix the lime juice, honey, and olive oil to make the dressing.
  7. Drizzle the dressing over the entire salad.
  8. Add cracked black pepper.

How to Select a Honey Dew Melon

  • Weight matters – select a melon that is heavy for it’s size.
  • Give it a squeeze – the melon should be firm and not mushy.
  • Use your nose – smell the end of the melon that came off the vine. It should smell sweet.
  • Look at the color – a ripe melon will be a creamy yellow, almost white color. If the melon is green don’t buy it.
