This salad is a great way to use up leftover cantaloupe. I always have some left over after making smoothies, and this is a delicious way to use it up.

I'm allergic to cantaloupe so I used honeydew melon instead. The salad was still delicious!

I tried this recipe and the dressing was too runny. I had to add some cornstarch to thicken it up.

I followed the recipe exactly and the dressing was way too sweet for my taste. I ended up adding some lemon juice to balance out the sweetness.
