Bow Tie Pasta Salad With Fontina and Melon image

Now that the weather is getting warmer, I find myself looking forward to pasta salads and melon. Why not combine the two? One of my favorite pasta salads from BHG "Fresh and Simple Pasta Pronto". Swiss cheese can be substituted for the fontina.

I'm not a big fan of arugula, so I used spinach instead. The salad was still delicious.
