This juicy, refreshing Mexican-style salad is a great way to use honeydew melon. It's diced and tossed with traditional Latin American seasonings: lime juice, crushed jalapeño peppers, chili powder, and crumbled Mexican cotija cheese. These ingredients perfectly balance the melon's sweetness, creating the perfect accompaniment to meat dishes and appetizers. Pumpkin seeds add extra crunch.
