Great for summer picnics. For easy shopping, I've generally found that 1 cantaloupe and 1 honeydew provide six cups. I usually peel the cucumbers, or if I leave them out because Cathy doesn't like them, sometimes I add apples instead. If it's hard to find a thai chile, at least try to find a red one for visual appeal, but the chiles are pretty switchable.
Ingredients:
6 cups cubed honeydews or 6 cups cantaloupes or 6 cups crenshaw melon
2 cucumbers, halved lengthwise and sliced
6 tablespoons lime juice
1/4 cup honey
1 grated lime, zest of
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 red thai chile, diced with seeds
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
Directions:
1. Combine melon and cucumber in salad bowl.
2. Mix dressing ingredients in a small bowl.
3. Pour dressing over fruit, toss and serve or chill up to 2 hours.
