1/4 cup fresh lime juice
2 Tbsp. honey
1/4 tsp. salt
1/8 tsp. freshly ground black pepper
1 cup jicama, julienned, remove thick peel
1 cup cantaloupe, peeled, seeded and cut into chunks
1 cup honeydew melon, peeled, seeded and cut into chunks
1 cup watermelon, peeled and cut into chunks
8 large Bibb lettuce leaves, roughly torn
2 Tbsp, whole mint leaves
Freshly ground black pepper
Whisk honey, salt and pepper into a bowl of the fresh squeezed limes. Cut jicama in half then pull the peel off with a paring knife. Thinly slice into rounds about 1/4" thick. Then julienne by stacking rounds on top of each other and slicing into sticks. Peel melons. Then remove the seeds except for watermelon and cut into bite size chunks.
Toss jicama and melons in vinaigrette, let sit 10 minutes. Before serving, pour off some of the vinaigrette into another bowl.
Toss with lettuce. Divide lettuce among four plates. Arrange melon salad on top, then sprinkle with small whole mint leaves.
Garnish with freshly ground black pepper.
Makes 4 servings

My Comments:
In the place of the Black pepper for garnish I prefer Splenda/Sugar blend it is really good if you let it sit for a little while before eating to give the Splenda time to sweetened the salad.
