This salad is a great way to use up leftover honey melon. I also added some chopped walnuts and dried cranberries, which gave it a nice crunch and sweetness.

This salad is a refreshing and light summer dish. The honey melon is sweet and juicy, and the basil adds a nice peppery flavor. I also added some crumbled feta cheese on top, which took it to the next level.
