Fresh Bing Cherry Salad with Melon and Mint

Sweet, fresh Bing cherries make this light, early summer salad equally perfect for a bu et lunch or part of a simple family meal. If possible, use a cherry pitter so cherries can be left whole.

Ingredients

1/2 small cantaloupe, seeds and skin removed, and cut into thin slices

1/4 honeydew melon, seeds and skin removed, and cut into thin slices

1/4 cup minced fresh mint, plus mint sprigs for garnish

2 tablespoons light honey

1 tablespoon lemon juice

1- 1/2 cups pitted fresh California Bing cherries

Juice of 2 limes

Fresh Bing Cherry Salad with Melon and Mint

Instructions

Put the cantaloupe, honeydew melon, and minced fresh mint in a bowl and stir gently several times. Pour the honey in separate bowl with the lemon juice and stir until the honey dissolves (a minute or two). Pour this over the melons and turn several times. Add the cherries, turning them in as well. Pour the lime juice over all, garnish with mint sprigs and serve.

Serves 6
