Top 10 Ways to Enjoy Honeydew Melon

1.       Freeze It. Make popsicles by pureeing honeydew with a little sugar and a splash of lime juice. Pour into molds and freeze.

2.       Drink It. Make a slushy with your honeydew. Watch Recipe Video.

3.       The Perfect Pyramid. Place a peeled slice of honeydew on a plate. Pile on slices of banana and your favorite berries. Top with a scoop of low-fat frozen yogurt and a sprinkle of chopped peanuts for a scrumptious dessert.

4.       A Sweet Green Salad. Add melon to a green salad for sweet bursts of flavor.

5.       Melon Salsa. Mix melon with finely chopped red onion, fresh cilantro and a squeeze of lime juice for a fresh salsa that pairs well with seafood.

6.       Melon Salad. Honeydew, cantaloupe and watermelon mix well for a beautiful and delicious fruit salad. Drizzle with maple syrup and spice with shavings of ginger root.

7.       Kebab It! Thread cubes of melon and other favorite fruit on bamboo skewers. Serve with a yogurt dip.

9.       Fill It. Use the hull of a honeydew melon as a bowl and fill it with cold melon soup on a hot day.

10.   Wrap It Up. Wrap slices of melon with prosciutto (ham) for a delicious appetizer.

11.   Wash, Slice and Peel! Enjoy melon by itself for a taste just the way nature intended.
