Honeydew Salad

I suppose this couldn't really be considered a salad if it only has one kind of fruit.  But it is a salad for lack of a better term.  Other melons can be added to this, as well as firm berries like blueberries or raspberries, and it will still taste fantastic.  There really isn't a limit to the creativity; I just used honeydew because I found a good one on sale.  Whatever you use, the dressing will make it lightly sweet and very refreshing.  Perfect for summer.

Serves 4-6

Juice of 1/2 lime
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1 tablespoon torn mint leaves
1 honeydew melon, cut into bite-sized pieces

1. In a large bowl with a sealing lid, mix lime juice and brown sugar until sugar dissolves.  Stir in mint.  Toss juice mixture with honeydew pieces until evenly coated (the mint will be a good indicator of this).  Chill fruit for at least 3 hours or up to 4 days (if keeping longer than 2 days, drain off juices after 2 days to prevent sogginess).
