Honeydew melon salad with tahini yogurt dressing
Summer, sun, salad! And not just any salad – today we have fruity-fresh honeydew melon salad! Because when it’s warm and oppressive outside, hunger usually stays small. Plus, it’s important to keep your body pumped with plenty of water and fresh vitamins. And that’s where this colorful melon salad comes in, which has a little bit of everything: sweet, tangy, crunchy, creamy and it’s also quick & easy to prepare.
Fruity, fresh and spicy – the mix makes it!
Wrap honeydew melon with air-dried ham is also done quickly, but it lacks the fresh lightness.

Sweet melon, slightly sour orange and bitter grapefruit form the fruity base of this summer salad. A touch of sumac conjures a delicate acidic note to the creamy feta, while tahini, lemon and yogurt create a nutty dressing and ground the salad. Toasted pine nuts provide the crunchy crunch, and a handful of bright green mint adds that extra freshness kick.
What are you waiting for? Get chopping and enjoy the colorful plate in the midday heat. Whether at home or as a meal prep at the office, this honeydew melon salad with tahini yogurt dressing will give you the energy to make it through the summer easy.
