Bursting with fresh, summer flavours, this light and refreshing cantaloupe salad recipe is simply perfect for hot summer days when the melons are at their best. With salty briny feta, sweet juicy cantaloupe, crunchy juicy cucumber, and a citrusy dressing made with mint & lime, it's the perfect mix of savory and sweet. Serve it as a side dish at a barbecue or picnic.
Not only was it visually delightful and appealing, but it was so delicious that you would want to come back for more. You can also use bamboo skewers to thread them together with some fresh mint leaves.

- Whisk together the ingredients for the dressing and season with salt and pepper.
- Cut the flesh of the cantaloupe from the skin and cut into 1/2 inch squares or as square as possible. Cut the feta into the squares too. Peel the cucumbers, straighten the sides and cut the flesh into the squares.
- Arrange the prepared cantaloupe, cucumber and feta squares by alternating between them on a large platter and drizzle with the dressing. Garnish with more mint leaves and extra peppers if desired.

...Angie, you certainly create exciting dishes! This is eye candy.
What a fresh salad, I made one like this a few years ago and I loved it!
Such a refreshing summer dish!
That looks so cool. And I like how you put them on toothpicks. They'd be a yummy appetizer. It always surprises me how good feta tastes with certain fruit. hugs-Erika

Judee from Gluten Free A-Z Blog: This is such a creative idea and I especially love it on the skewers!
Looks attractive.
Que bonita ensalada, muy vistosa y fresca. Si la pongo en una barbacoa, seguro que es lo primero que comemos, hablo por mi, yo es lo que haría, ahora es lo que apetece y lo que más me gusta. El aliño también es muy rico y le va de maravilla.
I'd never eat it as I don't mix my fruits with veggies, but I love the decor, the colour combo and the ingenious checherboard design! Lovely!
Really elegant for serving guests and the flavors are just perfect for this heat!
