Melon is a summertime favorite for almost everyone, and honeydew melon is a classic favorite that draws rave reviews for its light sweetness, juicy texture, and ability to refresh on even the hottest of days. Eating honeydew by itself is normally the way that this treat is enjoyed, but why not try these other preparations?
Frozen on a Stick
If you like frozen treats, you’ll love how tasty honeydew is when put on a stick and frozen in the freezer. The result is a sort of “natural” popsicle, whose soft and creamy texture is the perfect complement to the natural sweetness offered up.
With a Bit of Serrano Ham or Prosciutto
A common snack in both Italy and Spain during summer is a simple mix of cured ham (in Spain, serrano ham and in Italy, prosciutto) and pieces of honeydew. While it might sound strange at first glance, this treat is the perfect combination of sweet and savory.
In a Salsa
Believe it or not, honeydew can actually be used as part of a salsa recipe that will blow your mind on tortilla chips or in tacos. Combining small pieces of honeydew with ingredients like tomatoes and jalapeno peppers is the key to this sweet heat salsa.
