Ingredients
  

  • 1 small Cantelope balled with melon baller or cubed
  • 1 small Honeydew melon balled with melon baller or cubed
  • 8 ounce baby mozzarella balls
  • 1 cup packed fresh arugula
  • 10-15 fresh mint leaves torn
  • 1 small handful of basil leaves torn
  • ¼ cup pitted green olives
  • 2 tbsps white balsamic vinegar
  • 2 tbsps e.v olive oil
  • sea salt and black pepper as needed
  • balsamic reduction glaze for drizzling

Instructions
 

  • Whisk the white balsamic vinegar, salt and some pepper while slowly pouring in the e.v olive oil. Lightly toss the vinaigrette with the arugula and transfer to a serving plate or platter.
  • Gently toss both colored melon balls or cubes, olives with the arugula and add the mozzarella balls. Garnish with the fresh basil and mint leaves, drizzle with balsamic glaze and season with freshly ground black pepper.
  • Serve chilled immediately, melons tend to give out lots of juice if left sitting. Mix the salad just before serving in that case.
