This is actually a surprisingly delicious recipe :) It tastes so refreshing and light! The mint and cilantro infuses into the melon, giving it "mojito" flavor (minus the rum)! If you happen to add too much lime the 1st time around, just sprinkle in a little more sugar to balance it all out. Definately make the night before to give it the best flavor!

I took this to a co-workers BBQ B-Day party. It was a hit! Everyone loved it. I stayed true to the recipe. No one had ever seen the Cilantro with Mint with melons. Made a refreshing snack throughout the night. It may sound like a strange combo, but try it.

This was not very good, and I like all of the ingredients in the salad separately. I made it exactly as specified in the recipe and let it marinade for 8 hours in the fridge but it just tastes wrong. The cilantro and mint together are weird.

This was wonderfully delicious. It tasted so fresh. To help you out a bit with the measurements, I used 3/4 of the melon to make the 4 cups, 1 lime for the 1 tablespoon of juice, and 1 full package of fresh mint for the 1/3 cup. I also added about 1/2 package of sliced fresh strawberries that were sweet enough so that the "white sugar to taste" was not even needed. If you do add strawberries, it will turn the melon slightly red on the edges so you might want to add them when about to serve. I will most definitely make it again!

Made as directed but wasn't loving it as others did. Probably won't make again.

This was excellent, light and easy. Instead of sugar, I used honey and a little bit of jalapeno jelly. It was very tasty.

Very yummy! I added cantaloupe chunks and blueberries. It was very good but the lime, cilantro, and mint go really, really well with the honeydew. I will make this again.

I doubled the recipe, which made the melon too tall to really sit in the lime juice, which is crucial! No matter how much you toss, it's not the same. I used maybe 5T lime (one big lime), and I still could have used more. I think muddling might help the lime/cilantro flavors, but you cannot scrimp on marinating time. 24 hours had it at its best. I used honeydew and cantaloupe, but I think I'd prefer the honeydew alone.
