Sweet and juicy honeydew takes a savory turn in this Asian-inspired salad. A little kick from jalapeño and a sweet and sour vinaigrette transforms the bright green melon cubes into an exciting companion to grilled meats or stir-fries.

  • 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, minced
  • 2 teaspoons honey
  • 1 large jalapeño, minced

  • 1 large avocado, cubed
  • 1/4 cup roasted peanuts, chopped
