There’s nothing more refreshing than perfectly ripe, in-season melon. And that fresh flavor gets elevated further when paired with lemon, honey and herbs picked straight from the garden. This melon ball salad is fresh, delicious, and fun to make!

I decided to use a mix of melons (watermelon, cantaloupe and honeydew) because I thought the different colors would make it even prettier. And I wasn’t wrong. After I tossed it and put it in the bowl it was a Simple, stunning and yummy salad.
