Comments
This salad hits all the marks for a Charlotte weeknight. Melon, mint, honey, and lemon are stocked year-round at any Harris Teeter, Food Lion, or Walmart—no special stops needed. The stated ten minutes is honest; you cube the melon and dress it while the flavors meld, which genuinely takes that long. At roughly $1.50 to $2 per serving depending on melon season, it's a lean side or light lunch. The only friction is that it's best eaten fresh the same day, so it won't carry you into leftovers, and it's not substantial enough to anchor a full dinner on its own.
