Watermelon Fruit Salad with Pistachios, Honey, and Lime

Ingredients

• 3/4 cup roughly chopped pistachios
• 3 tablespoons honey
• 1 tablespoon dark brown sugar
• Grated zest and juice of 2 large limes ((about 1/4 cup juice))
• 5 cups 1-inch seedless watermelon cubes or melon balls
• 3 cups 1-inch cantaloupe cubes or melon balls

Steps

1. 1

   Toast the pistachios. Set a small nonstick pan over medium heat. Add the pistachios and toast for 2 to 3 minutes, stirring with a wooden spoon, until fragrant.

2. 2

   Make the honey-lime syrup. Add the honey and brown sugar and warm, stirring constantly, for about 1 minute, or until the brown sugar fully dissolves. Turn the heat off and stir in the lime zest and juice. Set aside to cool for 5 minutes. Taste and, if needed, stir in more honey.

3. 3

   Finish and serve. Combine the watermelon and cantaloupe in a large, shallow serving bowl. Spoon the pistachio and honey syrup all over and serve.
