3/9/2017 0 Comments Honeydew SaladI did something a few weeks ago that I'm fairly certain I have NEVER done before. I purchased a Honeydew Melon. Even though those green chunks at the bottom of every fruit salad & fruit cup are often left untouched in my household, I was certain that I could turn the tide. Maybe it was just a self fulfilling prophecy. Perhaps we just didn't eat them because we have been told we don't eat them... not because we don't like them. Once home I peeled & diced the honeydew. It's pale green chunks were nestled between pineapples & blueberries on my children's rainbow fruit kabobs. I was certain that this would be a win. What toddler doesn't want to eat a rainbow fruit kabob in its entirety. My children. That would be who. As my husband asked why I had included honeydew, I tried to shush him so as to not pass on this bad rap as a lesser fruit that this melon has in my home. Whether it was the whispers or the actual melon, we may never know, but now I was stuck with a whole honeydew melon. And I am not a food waster, so I needed a way to use it. After flipping through Pinterest, I noticed a theme of honeydew salads. They were fresh, light, and utilized lots of items I had on hand, so I scanned my fridge, merged a few ideas together, & gave it a go. And it was as perfect as a honeydew melon could get. So whether you truly love honeydew melon, find yourself stuck with a tupperware of it, or just want to grab those last few chunks out of your next fruit cup, this is the way to turn it into a starring side.

If you are missing an ingredient, just peak in your fridge. This is a fresh, clean tasting salad. It would pair well with almost any grilled meat or would be an amazing side dish at a barbeque. If you want to make it in advance, you could easily mix the salad components first & refrigerate them together. Just add in the dressing before serving.
