Summer Citrus Melon Salad

A light, refreshing salad for summer. I like to serve it in the hollowed melon halves.

INGRIDIENT

1 white grapefruit, peeled and sectioned

1 pink grapefruit, peeled and sectioned

1 navel orange, peeled and sectioned

1 honeydew melon, halved and seeded

1 cantaloupe, halved and seeded

1 large avocado, chopped into small pieces

1 tablespoon lemon juice

¼ cup extra-virgin olive oil

¼ cup fresh lemon juice

1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar

⅓ cup chopped fresh mint

2 tablespoons honey

1 teaspoon coarse sea salt

freshly ground black pepper to taste

fresh mint, leaves picked

DIRECTION

Step: 1

Combine white grapefruit, pink grapefruit, and orange sections in a large bowl.

Step: 2

Scoop out honeydew melon and cantaloupe flesh using a melon baller; add to the citrus in the bowl.

Step: 3

Toss avocado with 1 tablespoon lemon juice in a small bowl. Remove from the juice; add to the bowl of citrus and melons.

Step: 4

Whisk olive oil, 1/4 cup lemon juice, and balsamic vinegar together in a bowl. Stir in 1/3 cup chopped mint, honey, salt, and black pepper. Pour over citrus and melon mixture; toss gently to prevent mashing avocado. Garnish with fresh mint leaves.
