Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/2 cup pepitas
1 tablespoon olive oil
3/4 teaspoon chili powder
Kosher salt
1/2 small seedless watermelon (about 4 1/2 pounds)
1/2 small honeydew (about 1 3/4 pounds), seeds removed
1/2 small cantaloupe (about 1 pound), seeds removed
1/2 teaspoon lime zest plus juice of 2 limes (about 2 tablespoons)
1 tablespoon honey

Steps:

Toss the pepitas with the olive oil, 1/4 teaspoon of the chili powder and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Add to a small skillet and heat over medium heat, stirring frequently, until toasted and turning brown in some spots, 5 to 7 minutes.
Use a melon baller to scoop the watermelon, honeydew and cantaloupe into a large bowl. Mix the lime zest and juice, honey, remaining 1/2 teaspoon chili powder and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a medium bowl. Pour the dressing over the melon and toss until well coated. Fold in the pepitas and serve immediately.
