Watermelon Fruit Salad with Pistachios, Honey, and Lime
Sweet summer melons don’t need much fussing, but it’s not a bad idea to dress
them up with a drizzle of crushed pistachios and honey syrup. For the best
flavor, use the syrup while it’s warm.
Servings: 6
Ingredients
- 3/4 cup roughly chopped pistachios
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon dark brown sugar
- Grated zest and juice of 2 large limes (about 1/4 cup juice)
- 5 cups 1-inch seedless watermelon cubes or melon balls
- 3 cups 1-inch cantaloupe cubes or melon balls
Instructions
- Toast the pistachios. Set a small nonstick pan over medium heat. Add the pistachios and toast for 2 to 3 minutes, stirring with a wooden spoon, until fragrant.
- Make the honey-lime syrup. Add the honey and brown sugar and warm, stirring constantly, for about 1 minute, or until the brown sugar fully dissolves. Turn the heat off and stir in the lime zest and juice. Set aside to cool for 5 minutes. Taste and, if needed, stir in more honey.
- Finish and serve. Combine the watermelon and cantaloupe in a large, shallow serving bowl. Spoon the pistachio and honey syrup all over and serve.
