Instructions

  1. Toss everything together in a large bowl. Taste to see if you'd like to add more lime juice, or chile powder.
  2. 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.
  3. Store leftover melon salad covered in the refrigerator. Best eaten the same day it's made.

Notes

  • *Substitute fresh mint.
