Ingredients

1/2 medium cantaloupe ($1.00)

1.5-2 Tbsp fresh lime juice (about 1/2 lime) ($0.25)

1/2 Tbsp honey ($0.06)

1/8 tsp salt ($0.02)

1/8 tsp crushed red pepper ($0.02)

Instructions

1 Cut the cantaloupe in half and scrape out the seeds with a spoon. Reserve half of the cantaloupe for breakfast or other meals. Take the remaining half and cut it into quarters. Using a sharp knife, carefully run the knife between the flesh and the rind. Once the rind is removed, slice the melon into thin pieces.

2 In a small bowl, combine the juice of half a lime (about 1.5-2 Tbsp), honey, salt, and crushed red pepper. Stir until the honey is dissolved.

3 Pour the dressing over the sliced cantaloupe and toss to coat the melon in the dressing. Serve immediately, or chill until ready to eat. Give the melon a brief stir before serving.
