Steps:
- In a small saucepan, combine the water, sugar, and 1 cup mint leaves over medium heat. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the sugar has dissolved, about 5 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat and allow the syrup to cool, about 20 minutes. Strain before using.
- In a blender, puree the cooled syrup, cantaloupe, and lime juice until smooth. Taste, and adjust the sweetness by blending in 1 extra tablespoon of sugar at a time. Add the remaining mint leaves and blend until finely chopped. Pour the mixture into a 9-by-13-by-2-inch glass baking dish and freeze until firm, at least 8 hours or overnight.
- Use the tines of a fork to scrape the granita into chilled bowls and serve.

I received this in an email and it sounded wonderful. I am always on the lookout for different dressings. This one comes from the Fresh From Florida Cookbook. I haven't tried it yet but plan to in the near future.

MINT WATERMELON SALAD
I invented this refreshing fruit salad one sultry afternoon while my friends were gathered around my pool. It was quick to prepare and disappeared from their plates even quicker. Even the kids loved it! -Antoinette DuBeck, Huntingdon Valley, Pennsylvania
