Melon Salad with Herbs

Recipe by: Mom

General: Serves 4!

Ingredients:

2 charentais melons

½ honeydew melon

½ cucumber

170g small cherry tomatoes

25ml chopped fresh parsley

15ml snipped fresh chives

15ml chopped fresh mint

 

For the dressing:

90ml vegetable oil

30ml red wine vinegar

5ml caster sugar

salt and pepper



Method:

Cut the charentais in half, with a plain, zig-zag or scalloped edge.

Scoop out the seeds and central fibres. Using a melon baler, take small balls of flesh and put them in a bowl.

Scrape most of the remaining flesh from the melon halves. Set the melon shells aside. Remove seeds and fibres from the honeydew melon. Scoop out the flesh in small balls and add to the Charentais balls.

Use the melon baler to make balls of cucumber, or cut into cubes. Add the cucumber to the melon balls with the cherry tomatoes.

For the dressing, combine the ingredients in a screwtop jar and shake well.

Add the dressing to the bowl and toss together. Cover and refrigerate the salad for 2-3 hours. Just before serving, stir in the herbs.

Divide the salad among the melon shells, with all the juice.
