Print recipe

Tips

  • Important: Seeds must be removed before consumption.
  • Korean melons have a sweet, mild flavor that is similar to that of a pear or cantaloupe. These make great popsicles when mixed with lime juice and sugar!
  • When choosing, remember the the flesh will be semi-firm when ripe.

Ingredients (serves 6)

  • 4 Korean melons
  • 1-2 tablespoons fresh lemongrass, minced
  • 1 teaspoon fresh-squeezed lime juice
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • ½ teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon fresh cilantro, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon fresh mint, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon jalapeño, minced

Directions

  1. Cut each melon in half, scoop out seeds, peel off outer yellow rind, and cut into 1-inch pieces.
  2. Place melon pieces in a non-reactive bowl (glass or stainless steel) and add the remaining ingredients.
  3. Toss together and allow to marinate in the refrigerator for one to two hours.
  4. Serve over lettuce of your choice.
