Ingredients

  • 1/2 small seedless watermelon (2 1/2 pounds)
  • 1/2 ripe cantaloupe melon (1 1/2 pounds)
  • 1/4 ripe honeydew melon (1 pound)
  • 2 (3-inch) pieces young ginger,* peeled and minced (1/3 cup); or 2 (3-inch) pieces regular fresh ginger, peeled and minced (1/3 cup)
  • 1/4 cup sesame seeds, toasted
  • 1/4 cup lime juice (from 3 to 4 limes)
  • 1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce
  • 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 1 3/4 teaspoons kosher salt
  • 1 cup dried green lentils
  • 2 cups wide-flake unsweetened coconut
  • 1 1/4 cups blanched raw peanuts
  • 4 fresh kaffir lime leaves, chopped**

Directions

  1. 1
    Start by cutting up the melons: Trim off the rind of all 3 melons, remove any seeds, and cut the flesh into 1/2-inch dice. Put all of the diced melon in a large mixing bowl.
  2. 2
    In a separate bowl, combine the ginger, sesame seeds, lime juice, soy sauce, 1/4 cup of the olive oil, 2 tablespoons of the sugar, and 1/2 teaspoon of the salt. Mix well and pour over the melon. Toss, and let marinate at room temperature while you prepare the rest of the salad.
  3. 3
    Put the lentils and 4 cups cold water in a small saucepan set over high heat, and bring to a boil, about 5 minutes. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 15 minutes. Add 1 teaspoon of the salt and cook for 5 minutes, or until the lentils are tender but not mushy. Drain, rinse with cold water to chill, and then stir into the melon mixture.
  4. 4
    Combine the coconut, peanuts, kaffir lime, remaining 1 teaspoon sugar, remaining 1/4 cup olive oil, and remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt in a large saute pan. Toast the peanut mixture over medium-low heat, stirring it constantly, until the coconut and peanuts have toasted, somewhat unevenly, to a golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove from the heat and set aside to cool.
  5. 5
    Just before serving, add the peanut mixture to the melon mixture and stir gently to combine. Serve in a large bowl, preferably at room temperature.
