Tips and Variations
Tips and Variations
- This is a tasty salad for a hot day.
- Use this same recipe to prepare other types of melon, such as cantaloupe or honeydew.
- For something different, try swapping out the mint for chopped fresh basil. Add 2 tablespoons of crumbled feta cheese for something a little more savory or 2 tablespoons toasted sunflower kernels for a little more crunch.
