FAQ

Can I use a different melon if honeydew isn't available?

Yes, cantaloupe or a ripe galia melon both work well as a substitute, though cantaloupe has a slightly sweeter, more intense flavor. Make sure whichever melon you choose is fully ripe for the best texture when sliced thin.

How far in advance can I prepare this?

Slice the melon and prepare the dressing up to a few hours ahead, but keep them separate and refrigerated until serving. Dress the melon only right before serving so the slices don't turn watery.

What can I use instead of balsamic glaze for garnish?

A drizzle of good olive oil or a few flakes of sea salt work well if you don't have balsamic glaze on hand. Both add a nice contrast to the melon's sweetness without overpowering it.
