When I started making this salad, I didn’t realize how green it would be!
Green isn’t that bad though really. So if you want more green in your life, this salad can help you do just that! I’ve recently been into salads that don’t have lettuce. But, I think that is about to change, because the lettuce in my garden is almost ready!
I also love melon, and don’t eat honeydew very often. I don’t know why … when I want a melon, I usually go for watermelon or cantaloupe! That is about to change though .. this honeydew was so sweet and delicious!
Green Goddess Honeydew and Cucumber Salad
Print this recipe!
1/2 medium honeydew, cubed (about 4 cups)
1 large cucumber, peeled and diced
1 green onion, sliced
2 tbsp fresh mint
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 large lemon, zested and juiced
Combine all ingredients in a medium sized bowl. Mix well.
Refrigerate at least 30 minutes before serving.
A while back, I had made some citrus salts – lemon and lime. (They are really good with margaritas!) I decided since this salad had lemon juice in it, the lemon salt might be really good! And it was!
Happy almost 4th of July!

This sounds absolutely incredible! Two of my favorite greens together. Happy 4th
Thanks, you too!
Never thought to use melon in a salad. Sounds intriguing, though. Of course, I ‘d be tempted to eat the honeydew by itself. Yum! Can’t wait for the fresh ones!

I know, I normally just eat melon by itself, so I’ve been trying to be a little creative!
I think I’m just bad at picking out honeydew melons, because I’m always disappointed by them. Now cantaloupe? I am a cantaloupe-selecting master! (Or maybe they’re just in season right now…) And I love lettuce-less salads as a way to shake things up, yum.

I know what you mean! Honeydew is always kinda meh … where cantaloupe is always juicy and ORANGE! (or whatever color it is!)
You know Jane, honeydew is the only fruit I don’t like
… all that green is just lovely.

wow really?
That’s ok, you are allowed to not like some things 
That looks delicious, and I love green! I never used to like cantaloupe, and I have no idea why. But I will always choose honeydew over it or watermelon. I hope you have a wonderful 4th!

Thanks you too!
Though I am not very found of melons or honeydew, this salad sounds good enough to try. I LOVE cucumber though!
Thanks for visiting my blog today. I’m glad you did. I am in the infancy of learning to eat more healthy. I think this blog will definitely give me some good ideas for healthy snacks and foods to eat. I really need that!
BTW, I see that you have a Jeanette Jenkins advertisement on your sidebar. I don’t have that particular exercise DVD, but I do have a few others that she made earlier. They are VERY good and effective exercises.

Thanks Mara! I have lost a lot of weight, and am in the “keeping it off” stage, which will probably last me the rest of my life! Just in the last couple years though, I have been paying more attention to what I am putting in my body. Most times! I still love my chocolate
I think we could all use more green in our diets–and I love honeydew melon!

Wow, what a great salad! all my favorite ingredients, and I would add dill to it too.

YAY! Another way to use my HUGE mint plant!

Yay! I wish I had a huge mint plant — mine isn’t liking the weather here very much
I really love your style, and your photos are so magical!
Thank you so much!
Your salad looks so refreshing! I have some citrus salt recipes in my to try pile. I was going to make some for Christmas but never got around to it. Happy fourth to you.

You should make the citrus salts! Until I made them, I didn’t realize I would be using them for some many things! They are super easy too
This sounds beautifully refreshing!
