CANTALOUPE AND CUCUMBER SALAD



Cantaloupe and Cucumber Salad image

A Rachael Ray recipe from her EveryDay Magazine June/July 2008 edition. Light summer salad that features sweet cantaloupe, one of my favorite fruits! To make this a main course, simple add cooked chicken breast strips and chopped avocado on top. Fresh, light and tasty too! PS, the best cantaloupes in the world are grown in Indiana in my opinion. . .Poseyville's are absolutely grand if you can get your hands on them. . .they are kind of bumpy and ugly but they taste the best.
