This recipe is from Giada De Laurentiis. Watermelon and Cantaloupe balls are great by themselves. But adding this Mint Vinaigrette takes this to a whole new level. Serve the salad in a hulled out watermelon for a nice presentation. You can use a knife to slice a flat surface off the bottom of the watermelon.

Ingredients and Directions:

• 1 bunch fresh mint, chopped
• 1/4 cup lemon juice, from about 1 lemon
• 1/4 cup simple syrup, recipe follows
• 1/4 teaspoon amaretto
• 4 cups watermelon balls, from about one watermelon
• 2 cups cantaloupe balls, from about one cantaloupe

In a blender, combine mint, lemon juice, simple syrup, and amaretto.
