  • 2 tablespoons lime, juice, zest as well for extra flavor
  • 1 teaspoon honey, skip if your melon is super-sweet
  • 1 clove garlic, mashed and minced
  • 1 jalapeno, finely minced

Preparation Instructions

Whisk together the soy sauce, lime juice, zest (if using), honey, garlic, and jalapeno.

Cut the melon in half. Scoop out the seeds. Using a baller, scoop out round balls of the melon or cut away the skin and cut into 1 inch chunks.
