I joined a fruit and veggie co-op in my area, and when I received a cantaloupe I looked at it wondering what to do with it since I do not like them. I decided to see if I could find a recipe for it and came across this salad. I figured what the heck and gave it a try. While melon has not become my new favorite fruit, this recipe definitely makes it taste much better. A friend who likes cantaloupe really enjoyed this as well.
