Thai Melon Salad image

Great for summer picnics. For easy shopping, I've generally found that 1 cantaloupe and 1 honeydew provide six cups. I usually peel the cucumbers, or if I leave them out because Cathy doesn't like them, sometimes I add apples instead. If it's hard to find a thai chile, at least try to find a red one for visual appeal, but the chiles are pretty switchable.
