Cool and Crunchy Melon-Cucumber Salad image

This summer, add cucumber to a melon salad to make it extra-crisp and cool. We cut watermelon and cantaloupe into cubes and balls for a beautifully geometric presentation that can be eaten with toothpicks. We also tossed them as a salad, dressed with yuzu juice (available at Asian supermarkets and specialty stores), though it's equally out-of-this-world with lime or lemon juice.
