Ingredients
Scale
Fruit
- 1 small seedless watermelon
- 1 cantaloupe
- 1 honeydew
Drizzle
- ¼ cup honey
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 1 teaspoon chopped fresh mint
Instructions
- Prepare the Fruit: Clean seeds out of both the cantaloupe and honeydew melons to ensure smooth, bite-sized pieces without any seeds.
- Scoop the Melons: Use a melon baller to scoop out uniform balls from the watermelon, cantaloupe, and honeydew, creating a colorful and attractive assortment.
- Assemble Skewers: Thread the melon balls alternately onto wooden skewers to create visually appealing and easy-to-eat fruit skewers.

- Rest: Allow the skewers to stand for 2 to 3 minutes to let the flavors meld before serving.
Notes
- Use fresh, ripe melons for the best flavor.
- To make it easier to eat, serve the skewers chilled.
