How to Make Lime Ginger Honeydew

  1. In a small saucepan, combine 1/4 cup water and 2 tablespoons Splenda (or granulated sugar) over medium heat.
  2. Bring to a gentle boil, stirring until the sweetener dissolves completely.
  3. Remove from heat and let cool for 4 minutes.
  4. Add the zest of 1 lime, the juice of 1/2 lime, and 1 tablespoon of finely grated fresh ginger (or 1 teaspoon ginger powder) to the cooled sweetener mixture. Stir well to combine.
  5. Cut 4 cups honeydew melon into bite-sized pieces and place in a medium bowl.
  6. Pour the lime ginger syrup over the honeydew melon. Gently toss to coat evenly.
  7. Refrigerate for at least 15 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld. Garnish with extra lime zest and a sprig of mint (optional) before serving.
