Korean Melon with Apple and Ginger

5 from 1 vote

If you ever in Malibu on Sunday's you have to go to the farmers market. If you go there are a few fantastic farmers that specialize in certain things depending on what season it is. Some of the best fruit I’ve tasted has come from these farmers. One of them is a Korean couple that produce some fantastic organic Korean melons during the summer months.

They have a whole array of other items but right now is the Korean melon. I don’t always get the melons, I normally get their citrus or apples or peaches. But this week I decided to go for the melon because they looked so beautiful. I’m so glad I did because I was able to come up with this recipe. This is simple, easy, quick, lite, and best of all delicious!

How to make the honey ginger sauce

Place everything except the olive oil into a Vitamix. Puree for 15 seconds and then drizzle in the olive oil. Season with salt and set aside.

To Finish

Simply peel the apples and slice them thin on a mandolin , Repeat the same process with the Korean melon. Trim the edges for both, the apple and melon, so they have a rectangular shape. Then, alternate the layers of melon and apple. Add a few spoonfuls of the ginger sauce. Then finish the top of the fruit with salt, peppercorns, and basil leaves and flowers. Serve and enjoy!
