Honeydew melon is a summer fruit with a smooth pale skin surrounding a sweet pale green flesh.

  • Preparation-

Melon is usually served raw but it is delicious on the grill as well. One of our favorites here at CSA365 is a melon salsa (pictured above)!  Remove the seeds from the center, slice, and serve.
