Chili Lime Cantaloupe

Ingredients

  • 1/2 medium cantaloupe
  • 1.5-2 Tbsp fresh lime juice
  • 1/2 Tbsp honey
  • 1/8 tsp salt
  • 1/8 tsp crushed red pepper

Directions

  1. Slice the cantaloupe in half, then use a spoon to scoop away the seeds. Set aside half of the cantaloupe for breakfast or another meal. Cut the other half into quarters. With a sharp knife, carefully separate the fruit from the rind, then cut the peeled melon into thin slices.
  2. In a small bowl, stir together the juice from half a lime, about 1.5-2 Tbsp, honey, salt, and crushed red pepper. Mix until the honey blends fully into the dressing.
  3. Drizzle the dressing over the cantaloupe slices and toss until the melon is evenly coated. Serve right away, or refrigerate until you’re ready to eat. Stir the melon briefly just before serving.
