Fruit Salad with Watermelon and Cantaloupe
Salads • European
Description
In this salad, the seasonal sweetness of watermelon pairs perfectly with cantaloupe. You can serve the salad as a dessert or an appetizer—it's all up to your preference. If you toss the watermelon with honey, lemon, and mint, you’ll create a fruity dessert version. Alternatively, if you add salt, pepper, a splash of wine vinegar, and good olive oil to the same dressing, the salad can easily transform into a side dish. The watermelon in the salad should be sweet but firm enough so that the pieces don’t fall apart on the plate. It can be quite challenging to pick the right piece from a selection of many, but give it your best shot. Recipe by John Smith, Chef at The Local Café.
