Melon Skewers with Mint Dressing are a refreshing, vibrant appetizer or snack featuring sweet melons like watermelon, cantaloupe, and honeydew, topped with a cool, aromatic mint dressing.

Ingredients

  1. For the melon skewers:
    1 cup watermelon, cubed
    1 cup cantaloupe, cubed
    1 cup honeydew, cubed
    1 tablespoon fresh lime juice (optional, for drizzling)
    For the mint dressing:
    1/4 cup fresh mint leaves, finely chopped
    2 tablespoons honey or agave syrup
    2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
    1/4 cup plain yogurt or dairy-free yogurt (optional, for a creamier dressing)
    Pinch of salt
    For garnish (optional):
    Extra fresh mint leaves
    Lime zest

Instructions

Wash and peel the cantaloupe and honeydew melons. Cut all the melons into bite-sized cubes, removing any seeds from the watermelon and cantaloupe.

  1. Skewer the melon cubes onto wooden or metal skewers, alternating between watermelon, cantaloupe, and honeydew. Arrange the skewers on a serving platter.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together the chopped fresh mint, honey (or agave syrup), lime juice, yogurt (if using), and a pinch of salt until smooth and aromatic.
  3. Drizzle the mint dressing over the melon skewers just before serving. Alternatively, serve the dressing on the side for dipping.
  4. Garnish with additional mint leaves and a sprinkle of lime zest. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Notes

  • Try adding other fruits like strawberries, grapes, or pineapple to the skewers for more variety.
  • For a vegan version, use dairy-free yogurt and agave syrup instead of honey.
  • Add a pinch of cayenne pepper or chili flakes to the mint dressing for a spicy kick.
  • Freeze the melon chunks before assembling the skewers for a cool, refreshing treat on hot days.
