Sweet Mint, Melon and Pistachio Summer Salad

We made this super easy melon, mint  and pistachio salad for a barbecue this weekend and couldn’t wait to share. It was such a hit, perfect for hydrating while hanging out at the beach, ball park or just in the back yard. 

INGREDIENTS

1 medium cantaloupe

1 medium watermelon

2 tablespoons chopped mint

2 tablespoons chopped cilantro

1/2 lime, juiced

1 teaspoon honey

1-2 pinches cayenne

1 tablespoon chopped pistachios, for garnish

1 tablespoon shredded coconut

DIRECTIONS

Cut melons in half. Using a melon baller, scoop flesh into balls and transfer to a large serving bowl. 

Toss melon with mint and cilantro.

In a small bowl, whisk together lime juice, honey and cayenne. Drizzle over melon and toss to coat. 

Garnish with coconut and pistachios and serve.
