Yield:
4 servings
Ingredients:
1 honeydew melon, preferably chilled
2-3 tbsp cold tequila
Finely grated zest of 1/2 lime, plus extra to serve
Juice of 1/2 lime
2-3 tbsp runny honey
Tiny pinch of fine sea salt
Few mint sprigs (leaves only), chopped
Instructions:
Step 1: Halve the melon and remove the seeds with a spoon. Using a melon baller, scoop the flesh into neat balls and place in a large bowl.
Step 2: Mix the tequila, lime zest and juice, honey and salt together in a small pitcher. Taste and add a little more honey if dressing is too sour. Pour over the melon balls, toss gently to mix and chill for at least 10-15 minutes.
