Large Mixing/Serving bowl

Ingredients

1 medium English Cucumber(s) (thinly sliced)
1.5 cups Radishes (thinly sliced)
1 small Sweet Honeydew Melon (cut into slices)
1/2 cup Mint leaves (cut into strips)
1/2 cup Fresh lemon juice
2 tbsp Sugar

Instructions

Prep

Thinly (but not too thinly) slice mellon, cucumber, and radishes.
Cut mint leaves into strips
Measure out 1/2 cup lemon juice and 2 Tbsp sugar

Combine ingredients

Combine all ingredients into a large mixing bowl and stir
Add mint garnish and chill two hours

Serving Size

Yield 1/2 cup per serving

Notes

A Manoline was used to cut the cucumber, melon, and radishes. You can slice by hand.
I found that slicing too thinly causes the ingredients to stick together in a big "mashy" kind of way. 1/8 thickness or more is preferred.
