Categories     Food & Cooking     Appetizers

Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 5

1/2 each golden watermelon, cantaloupe, canary melon, and Honey Kiss or Sugar Kiss melon, peeled, seeded, and cut into 1/4-inch slices
1/2 English cucumber, peeled and thinly sliced
Flaky sea salt, such as Maldon, and freshly ground pepper
Extra-virgin olive oil
Fresh mint leaves, for serving

Steps:

  • Arrange melons and cucumber on a platter; season with salt and pepper. Drizzle with oil. Just before serving, sprinkle with mint.

Tips:

  • Choose ripe, flavorful cucumbers and melons. Look for cucumbers that are firm and deep green in color, and melons that are heavy for their size and have a sweet aroma.
  • Use a variety of cucumbers and melons to add different flavors and textures to your salad. For example, you could use English cucumbers, Persian cucumbers, honeydew melons, and cantaloupes.
  • Slice the cucumbers and melons thinly so that they are easy to eat. You can use a mandoline or a sharp knife to slice the cucumbers and melons.
  • Make sure to remove the seeds from the cucumbers before slicing them. This will help to prevent your salad from becoming watery.
  • Toss the cucumbers and melons with the raspberry vinegar dressing immediately after slicing them. This will help to prevent the cucumbers and melons from oxidizing and turning brown.
  • Garnish the salad with fresh herbs, such as mint, basil, or cilantro. This will add a pop of color and flavor to your salad.
