I love this salad!!! I used the lime wedge around the rim of each martini glass and then ran them through sugar. The sugar sticks well to the lime juice and flavors the sugar. I love mojitos and I bet this would be great with a tablespoon or two of white rum in it! Great Recipe! Thanks Redsie

Delicious salad and a great way to use some of the mint (spearmint) which is growing rampant in our garden. We had this for supper with fish so I skipped step 2. I also didn't measure my amounts but used 1 whole cantalope and one whole honeydew plus 1 lime and a bunch of mint leaves which I picked out of the yard. I think the leftover salad will make a wonderful breakfast with yogurt. Thanks for sharing this keeper!
