I really liked this dish. I have a very very picky eater and she enjoyed it very much so she had asked for it again.I did not use a lot of mint, i used some basil also , and didnt use the amaretto. this time when i make it i will add just a little more mint (can add not take away and amaretto. it is very refreshing. good hint is to make some up and add it to half of the melon see if you like it then you wont waste the dish.it does get better over time.
