Tips:
- When selecting strawberries, choose ripe and fragrant berries that are deep red in color and have no signs of bruising or mold.
- To easily remove the skin from cantaloupe, score the rind lengthwise and scoop out the seeds. Then, use a sharp knife to carefully peel away the skin.
- For a sweeter salad, use ripe and juicy cantaloupe. If your cantaloupe is not as sweet as you would like, you can add a drizzle of honey or agave nectar to the salad.
- To add a bit of crunch to the salad, add some chopped nuts or seeds. Walnuts, pecans, and sunflower seeds are all great options.
- For a refreshing summer salad, serve the salad chilled. You can also add a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream to each serving for a delicious dessert.
