Lunch Idea: Spicy Melon Salad with Peanuts and Mint
A simple melon salad takes a refreshingly exotic turn when tossed in a salty, citrusy dressing infused with chilies and mint. I adapted this recipe from Andrea Reusing’s Cooking In the Moment: A Year of Seasonal Recipes to take to a recent potluck buffet, and it fit in beautifully with the rest of the spread that included charcuterie, cheeses, salads, and various nibbles. It would also be a welcome switch from the predictable fruit salad at a backyard cookout. I used a combination of watermelon, cantaloupe, and honeydew, but use whatever combination you like.
