Ingredients
1 ripe cantaloupe, cubed or scooped into balls
1/4 cup fresh mint leaves, roughly chopped
1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice (optional)
Salt and pepper to taste
Directions
Prepare the Cantaloupe: Cut the cantaloupe into bite-sized cubes or use a melon baller to create round pieces.
Mix the Salad: In a large bowl, combine the cantaloupe cubes, chopped mint, and crumbled feta cheese.
Dress the Salad: Drizzle the olive oil over the salad, and if using, add the lime juice for a bit of extra zest.
Season: Lightly season with salt and pepper to taste. Be careful with the salt, as the feta is already salty.
Toss and Serve: Gently toss the salad to combine all the ingredients. Serve immediately, or chill in the refrigerator for 15-20 minutes to let the flavours meld.
