Chilled Melon, Cucumber and Mint Salad image

Steps:

  • Place the melons on a flat surface and split each one in half. Scoop out and discard the seeds. Use the larger-size scoop on a melon baller to scoop out the flesh. The goal is to tightly pack about 6 generous cups of melon flesh and then hollow the four melon halves out for presentation. Scrape the halves with a spoon to smooth the insides and gather additional flesh (and trap any juices) in a separate bowl until you have 1 heaping cup. Save the melon halves. Refrigerate the melon balls.
  • Place the melon scraps and juices in a blender and add 3 tablespoons of the olive oil, the lime zest and juice and honey. Puree until smooth and taste for seasoning. Add more honey, if needed. Add a splash of water if more liquid is needed to make a smooth puree. Refrigerate.
  • In a medium bowl, toss the cucumbers with the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil and a generous amount of black pepper. Toss the melon balls with the dressing. Sprinkle the cucumbers and mint over the melon and mix a little. Fill the melon halves.

2 medium melons, such as cantaloupe, Galia or honeydew
2 medium hothouse cucumbers, peeled, cut into 1-inch cubes and chilled
4 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
Zest and juice from 1 small lime
1 tablespoon honey
6 fresh mint sprigs, stemmed
Freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Combine the vinegar and sugar in a small saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a simmer, stirring often to dissolve the sugar. Remove from the heat and allow to cool.
  • Put the cantaloupe and honeydew in a bowl and toss with the basil and mint. Drizzle with the sweetened vinegar and toss lightly. Pile the melon on a platter and sprinkle with the flake salt.

1/4 cup champagne vinegar
1/4 cup sugar
1/4 cantaloupe, peeled, seeded and diced into 3/4-inch pieces
1/4 honeydew, peeled, seeded and diced into 3/4-inch pieces
1/4 cup fresh basil leaves, roughly chopped
1/4 cup fresh mint leaves, roughly chopped
Flake salt, such as Maldon

MELON, CUCUMBER AND MINT SALAD

Alex loves mint in many forms: muddled in a cocktail, layered in a sandwich or tossed with fruit like in this melon salad.

Melon, Cucumber and Mint Salad image

Steps:

Transfer 1 heaping cup of melon chunks to a blender. Refrigerate the remaining melon chunks in a large bowl until chilled.
  • Make the dressing: Add 3 tablespoons olive oil, the lime zest and juice and the honey to the blender. Puree until smooth. Taste for seasoning; add more honey, if needed. Add a splash of water if needed to make a smooth dressing. Refrigerate the dressing until ready to serve.
  • In a medium bowl, toss the cucumbers with the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil and a generous amount of pepper. Toss the chilled melon chunks with the dressing. Add the cucumbers, sprinkle the mint on top and mix a little.

CUCUMBER, MELON AND WATERMELON SALAD

Watermelon and feta has been in vogue for some time (and forever in Greece). I decided to throw in some of my endless supply of cucumbers and mix it up with the melons. I cut the melon and cucumber into medium-size dice (1/2 to 3/4 inch), but you can also make this more like a salsa and cut the produce into fine dice.
