Ingredients

The ingredients are:
  • 1 (3 pound) cantaloupe melon (chilled)
  • 2 1/2 pound honeydew (1/2 melon, chilled)
  • 240 grams walnuts (whole walnuts, 2 cups, toasted and chopped, pecans can also be used)
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup (real)
  • 2 tablespoons fresh mint, chopped
  • Kosher or sea salt, pinch of
  • Pepper, pinch of
We recommend you get your ingredients ready before you start cooking. Once you're ready, here are the steps to making this delicious recipe

How to Make

  • Step 1: Walnuts ... Add the walnuts to a dry saute pan on medium heat. Saute, stirring often; for, 3-4 minutes - just until you begin to smell them. Then, they are done. Transfer to a plate to cool; then, chop. I prefer walnuts; however, pecans are also just as good.

  • Step 2: Melon ... I like to use a melon baller (small scoop); but, you can also dice the melon - whatever you like. Then, add the melon, nuts, and maple syrup to a bowl; and toss. Then, add the mint ... and toss once again. And, remember ... always use melons that are in season.

  • Step 3: Serve and ENJOY! ... It literally takes just a few minutes to prepare. Delicious, refreshing; and, a nice simple salad.

  • Step 4: Note: Fresh strawberries and peaches are also really good in this salad, instead of melon. Fresh 'in season' fruit and a good maple syrup is the key.
