2 cups cooked turkey breast, diced

1 medium cantaloupe, peeled, seeded, and cubed

1 medium honeydew melon, peeled, seeded, and cubed

1/2 cup red grapes, halved

1/4 cup red onion, finely diced

1/3 cup Greek yogurt

2 tablespoons fresh lime juice

Instructions
 

In a large mixing bowl, combine the diced turkey, cubed cantaloupe, cubed honeydew melon, and halved red grapes.

    In a separate small bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, lime juice, honey, salt, and pepper until smooth.

      Pour the dressing over the turkey and melon mixture and gently toss to coat all the ingredients evenly.

        Add the finely diced red onion and chopped fresh mint to the salad, and toss gently again to distribute.

          Let the salad chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
