This dish is a great way to get your kids to eat their fruits and vegetables. My kids loved the sweet melon and raspberry sauce, and they didn't even notice the green peppercorns.

I'm not sure what all the fuss is about. This dish was just okay. I've had much better melon salads before.

This dish is a great way to use up leftover melon. I had some cantaloupe that was about to go bad, and this recipe was the perfect way to use it up.

I thought the melon and raspberry sauce was delicious, but the green peppercorns were a bit overpowering. I would recommend using a lighter hand with the peppercorns next time.

This dish was a bit too spicy for my taste. I would recommend using less green peppercorns next time.

I'm not sure about the combination of melon and green peppercorns. I think I'll stick to more traditional fruit salads in the future.

I found that the melon and raspberry sauce was a bit too sweet for my taste. I would recommend using less sugar or adding a bit of lemon juice to balance out the sweetness.
