CANTALOUPE SALAD WITH HONEY LEMON DRESSING



Cantaloupe Salad with Honey Lemon Dressing image

A good cantaloupe doesn't need much enhancement, if any, but crisp cucumbers, fresh herbs and raspberries are natural pairings that will really make the flavor sing. It's a great twist on a traditional fruit salad and holds its own as a weeknight side dish, or for a potluck or summer gathering. Cantaloupe salad will keep well in the fridge for a few days, so don't be intimidated by the servings yield - you'll want to eat it for days.

Melon-Berry Salad image

The best way to cool down on a warm day is with a chilled fruit salad. Serve this one for breakfast, brunch or dessert. Yogurt and coconut milk make the creamy dressing even more decadent. Wait until just before serving to garnish the salad. Otherwise the toasted coconut will get soggy. -Carrie Hirsch, Hilton Head Island, South Carolina
