Three plates of fresh salad with cubes of watermelon, cantaloupe, honeydew melon, cucumber, and feta cheese are on a rustic surface. A fork and folded napkin rest beside one plate. Mint leaves garnish the salads.

I love a good fruit salad as much as the next person, but if we’re being honest, most of them are just...fine. A little flat. That’s why this Hot Honey Fruit Salad is here to shake things up. It's bold, juicy, herby, salty, and just spicy enough to keep things interesting. It’s summer on a plate—with a kick. And it comes together in about 15 minutes, which makes it the kind of dish I can throw together last minute.

Ingredients

1 small seedless watermelon
1 small honeydew
1 small cantaloupe
8 ounces feta
½ cup fresh mint leaves
3 tbsp hot honey
2 tbsp olive oil
1 large lime zested and juiced
1/2 tsp flaky sea salt

Instructions

Remove the rind from your watermelon and cut it into 1-inch cubes.
Remove the seeds from the cantaloupe and honeydew, then use a melon ball scooper to form melon balls. If you don't have one, remove the rind and cut the cantaloup and honeydew into 1-inch cubes.
Add watermelon, honeydew, cantaloupe, feta, ¼ cup mint and ½ the zest to a large bowl.
Add the hot honey, olive oil, lime juice, and salt to a small bowl. Whisk well, then drizzle over the melon salad and toss gently to combine. You can also add the ingredient to a blender and blend until smooth.
Garnish with remaining mint and lime zest!
