Chef's Note
Toasting the raw almonds yourself brings out their natural oils and creates a much richer, nuttier flavor than store-bought pre-roasted ones. Keep a close eye on them in the pan, as they can go from perfectly toasted to burnt very quickly!

Ingredients
1 medium raw cantaloupe
1.5 cups raw whole almonds
1 whole raw lime
1/2 tsp sea salt
1 tbsp raw honey
Instructions
- 1
Place 1.5 cups of raw whole almonds in a dry skillet over medium heat. Toast them, stirring constantly, for 4 to 5 minutes until they are fragrant and slightly darkened. Remove from heat immediately and transfer to a plate to cool completely.
- 2
Once the toasted almonds are cool to the touch, roughly chop them using a chef's knife.
- 3
Cut 1 medium raw cantaloupe in half. Use a spoon to scoop out and discard the seeds and pulp from the center.
- 4
Slice the cantaloupe halves into wedges, peel off the outer skin using a sharp knife, and chop the flesh into bite-sized 1-inch cubes. Place the cubes into a large mixing bowl.
- 5
Wash 1 raw lime, then grate its skin to yield about 1/2 tsp of zest, and squeeze out 1 tbsp of fresh lime juice.
- 6
Drizzle the 1 tbsp of fresh lime juice and 1 tbsp of raw honey over the cantaloupe cubes, and toss gently to coat.
- 7
Divide the cantaloupe cubes into 6 serving bowls. Top each bowl with the chopped toasted almonds, sprinkle with 1/2 tsp of sea salt, and garnish with the lime zest.
