Story
|
When watermelon and cantaloupe (muskmelon) are in season, it's hard to pass them up. For that reason, we usually end up with several on the kitchen counter at the same time. Without a big picnic planned, it's hard for our family to eat them all up.
This salad is a great way to use up all that melon! It makes a nice side dish but could easily be served as a luncheon salad or even a dessert. Enjoy!
