Melon Salad With Lime-Ginger Syrup

• 1/4 medium seedless watermelon
• 1/2 large ripe cantaloupe
• 1/2 large ripe honeydew
• 1 tablespoon thinly sliced mint leaves, plus more for garnish
• 1 teaspoon grated lime zest
• 1/4 cup sugar
• 1 1-inch piece fresh ginger, thinly sliced
• 1/4 cup lime juice (from about 3 small limes)

1. Using a melon baller, scoop 1-inch balls from melons and combine in a bowl. Fold in mint and zest. Refrigerate.
2. Bring sugar, 1/3 cup water and ginger to a boil in a pan over medium-high heat, stirring until sugar dissolves. Boil until reduced by half and syrupy, about 6 minutes. Remove from heat; stir in juice. Pour into a container and refrigerate until chilled.
3. When ready to serve, spoon melon balls into 4 bowls. Strain syrup and spoon 1 Tbsp. over each bowl. Garnish with more mint, if desired.
