Yield Serves 8

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 tablespoon vegetable oil
2 red onions, sliced 1/4 inch thick
2 cantaloupes
1 honeydew melon
1/4 cup chopped fresh mint leaves
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese (about 4 ounces)
1/4 cup pine nuts, toasted

Steps:

  • In a large skillet heat oil over moderate heat until hot but not smoking and cook onions, stirring occasionally, until just softened. Remove skillet from heat and cool onions.
  • With a sharp knife cut a slice from top and bottom of each melon to expose flesh and arrange with a cut side down on a cutting board. Cutting from top to bottom, remove rind. Halve melons, discarding seeds, and cut 1 cantaloupe half and 1 honeydew half into 1-inch-thick wedges. Arrange wedges on a platter. Cut remaining melon into 3/4-inch chunks and in a bowl toss with mint, lime juice, and pepper to taste.
  • Spoon melon mixture over melon wedges on platter and top with onions, feta, and pine nuts. Just before serving, toss mixture to combine.

CANTALOUPE WITH FETA AND BLACK PEPPER

Juicy melon makes a brilliant match for salty, tangy cheese. The riper the fruit, the better. Honeydew, canary, or Chanterais melons would also work well in this dish.
