Chef tips
For a more pronounced refreshing flavor, chill the melon and cucumber for at least 2 hours beforehand. Do not add too much mint, so it does not overpower the melon’s delicate flavor.
Substitutions
You can replace the honey with agave syrup for a vegan version if you also swap the yogurt for unsweetened plant-based yogurt. Mint can replace spearmint, and lime can be swapped for lemon for a softer acidity.
