My cantaloupe and mango salad with a tangy lime dressing is a colorfully delicious fruit salad with a south of the border vibe.

Ingredients
- 1/2 ripe cantaloupe diced
- 1 ripe mango diced
- 2/3 cup blueberries
- 1 small Persian cucumber peeled and diced
- 1/4 small red onion thinly sliced
- 12 cherry tomatoes halved
- Handful fresh cilantro roughly chopped
- salt and fresh cracked black pepper to taste
- 1/4 cup crumbled Feta cheese or Cojita (use more, if desired)
dressing
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 3 Tbsp fresh lime juice more/less, to taste. *See Notes
- 1 pinch sugar to taste. I used almost 1/4 teaspoon.
- 1 pinch salt more/less to taste
Instructions
- Toss the melon, mango, berries, cucumber, onion, tomatoes, and cilantro together in a bowl.
- Whisk together the olive oil and lime juice. Add a pinch of sugar and whisk or stir well to dissolve it. If needed, add a bit more sugar.
- Toss the salad with just enough dressing to lightly saturate, you may not need it all. Season with salt and pepper, and top with a few more cilantro leaves, and the crumbled feta.
- If you'd like to make the salad ahead of time, leave out the tomatoes and cheese until ready to serve. Give it another toss and add the tomatoes and cheese just before serving.
Cup of Yum
Notes
- As with all my salad recipes, feel free to tinker with the amounts, they're just a suggestion! See the body of the post for substitutions.
- I like my dressings on the acidic side, but you may want to add a little more or a little less lime juice.
