Best Hot And Sweet Melon Salad Recipes
SWEET AND SPICY MELON SALAD
Steps:
- Add the agave, lime juice, cayenne pepper and salt to a large bowl and whisk to combine. Add the cantaloupe and honeydew to the bowl along with the mint leaves and toss to coat with the dressing. Serve as is, or for a more intense flavor, refrigerate for a few hours and up to overnight and toss again before serving.
WATERMELON AND FETA SALAD
A take on the Mediterranean combination of watermelon and feta, this refreshing zinger of a salad couldn't be more perfect. Unassumingly simple, the sweet melon, salty cheese and fragrant basil reach their peak when doused with white balsamic vinegar and dribbled with fruity olive oil. Rather than building tall, this salad builds wide - so use a large platter for the most dramatic presentation. Vinegared watermelon does not keep its crisp, juicy texture well, so be sure to dress it (and eat it) the moment the last basil leaf falls.
