FROZEN MELON WITH CRUSHED RASPBERRIES AND LIME
Inspired by packed cups of Italian ice, this frozen melon dessert is the best way to enjoy melon (besides eating it fresh). Be sure to season it with enough citrus juice to give some dimension to the melon, which tends to read as simply sweet. Frozen melon can be made two weeks ahead, either scraped or unscraped. (If scraped, store in a resealable plastic container and re-fluff before serving.)

Steps:
- Blend melon in a food processor or blender until completely smooth; you should have about 4 cups purée. Transfer to a 9-by-4-inch loaf pan (or a shallow baking dish, if you have space for it in your freezer).
- Add 1/2 cup lime juice and 2 tablespoons sugar and stir to blend; season with more lime juice and sugar, as needed. The mixture should be fairly tart and sweet. (The sweetness dulls once the mixture is frozen, so stay on the sweeter side now.) Place in freezer and let freeze until completely solid, anywhere from 2 to 4 hours, depending on your freezer.
- Once the mixture is frozen, use a spoon or fork to scrape the frozen melon into a fluffy pile of ice. If it becomes soft or melty when scraping, place it in the freezer until it's solid enough to scrape again.
- If serving immediately, lightly pack some of the ice into serving glasses or bowls. (If not, transfer the ice to a resealable container and freeze until ready to serve. The frozen melon can be prepared up to 2 weeks ahead; if scraped, it might need a little re-fluffing before serving.) Top each serving with raspberries and use a spoon or fork to crush them into the ice. Top with more ice, followed by a bit of lime zest, and then a little sumac and flaky salt, if using.
Tips:
- Choose ripe melons for the best flavor. Look for melons that are heavy for their size and have a sweet smell.
- Use a melon baller or a sharp knife to create melon balls. If you don't have a melon baller, you can use a small spoon to scoop out the melon flesh.
- Add other fruits to the melon salad for a more complex flavor. Some good options include berries, grapes, and pineapple.
- Use a light and refreshing dressing for the melon salad. A simple vinaigrette or a yogurt-based dressing are both good options.
- Garnish the melon salad with fresh mint or basil for a pop of color and flavor.
