Ingredients
- 1/2 (about 1 pound) small seedless watermelon (see Cooks Note)
- 1/2 (about 1 pound) honeydew melon (see Cooks Note), seeds removed
- 1/2 (about 1 pound) cantaloupe melon (see Cooks Note), seeds removed
- 1/2 cup packed fresh mint leaves, finely chopped, plus mint sprigs, for garnish
- 1/2 cup turbinado or other coarse sugar
Method
- Cut each melon lengthwise into 1-inch-wide slices.
- Hold the melon slices at the peel end and, using a sharp vegetable peeler, shave the melon flesh in long ribbons into a large serving bowl.
- In a small bowl, combine the mint leaves and sugar.
- Add the mint sugar to the shaved melon and gently toss.
- Arrange the melon salad on individual salad plates.
- Garnish with fresh mint sprigs and serve.
- The melons are easiest to shave into ribbons when they are slightly underripe and chilled.
