What makes this salad extra special is its dressing. The simple combination of lime, maple syrup, fresh mint, and cinnamon amps up the flavours of the fruit. The salad is sweeter, more flavourful, and it turns a regular fruit salad into a delicious and healthy dessert.

Each ingredient increases the flavour. Lime heightens the natural fruity flavour. Maple syrup adds to the sweetness. Mint adds a refreshing flavour. While cinnamon rounds out the salad’s yumminess. Yes, yumminess!!

Blueberry Cantaloupe Salad may look fancy, but it’s surprisingly easy to make thanks to one simple kitchen tool – a melon baller. A melon baller is shaped like a cookie scoop and helps to create those round melon balls.

Melon balls not only look beautiful, but they’re also delicious. They’re a feast for the eyes and for the mouth. Each beautifully uniformed bite bursts with the sweetest part of the melon.

If you don’t have a melon baller, you can still make this recipe. You can use a cookie scoop or a rounded measuring spoon to form these fruity balls. Cookie scoops are actually great for making melon balls. The spring load action releases them so easily.

To make a perfect melon ball, first cut the cantaloupe in half and remove the seeds. Press the melon baller (or similar tool) fully into the cantaloupe’s flesh. Rotate the baller 180 degrees and you should have a perfectly formed melon ball in your spoon.

If you end up with some irregular chunks, try again. This time, press the melon baller more firmly into the fruit. With a small amount of pressure and a simple twist of the wrist, you can enjoy some delicious cantaloupe balls.

When you’re all done, keep the remaining cantaloupe rind. It’s the perfect serving bowl for a Blueberry Cantaloupe Salad.
