Notes
Ensure all fruit is ripe but firm enough to hold its shape. Honeydew should yield slightly to pressure at the blossom end. Use a sharp knife to cut the fruit cleanly. For best texture, add bananas just before serving to prevent browning. The dressing can be adjusted; for a tangier profile, increase lemon juice; for more sweetness, add a touch more honey. Consider adding a pinch of cinnamon alongside the nutmeg for warmth.
