Mojito Melon Salad with Fresh Mint Recipe

"A favorite cocktail served up as a gorgeous and fresh fruit salad? Yes please! Serve this honey-rum-lime infused beauty in small cocktail glasses at your next spring gathering and prepare for raves. Tip: A melon baller makes for beautiful results but if you’re time crunched you can simply dice pre-cut melon for a similar effect."
