Method

1
Peel and slice the shallot into thin rings. Marinate the onion in a small bowl in the lime juice for about 10 minutes.
2
Peel and slice the melons. Arrange them on a rimmed serving platter. Lift the onion rings from the lime juice onto the melons, but save the juice.
3
Finely chop 2/3 of the mint (1-2 tbsp), saving the rest for garnish. Mix the chopped mint, oil, sugar, salt, and drained capers into the lime juice.
4
Spoon the dressing over the melons. Let the flavors meld for a moment. Garnish with mint leaves, sprinkle with flaky sea salt, and grind some black pepper on top.
