1 Grate 2 tablespoons peel from limes. Cut each lime in half crosswise; squeeze halves over small bowl to remove 6 tablespoons juice.

3 Refrigerate at least 1 hour to blend flavors but no longer than 24 hours. To serve, thread 4 or 5 melon cubes on each skewer. Discard marinade.

EXPERT TIPS

Expert Tips

"Mojito" typically refers to a cocktail made with lime juice, sugar, mint leaves and rum. We've taken those same flavors and turned them into a refreshing appetizer.

One-third cup frozen (thawed) limeade concentrate can be substituted for the rum.

I made this for my Lost Series Finale buffet. It did not get "Lost", in fact it was gone in a snap. Highly reccommend this for any occasion. You and your guests will love it!

This salad is a summer staple! I usually make it in a big bowl. I have also substited fresh pineapple for honeydew and I almost like the pineapple/melon combo better than only melon. Guests always rave on this one! Yum!
