Ingredients
- 12 mint leaves
- 3 small english cucumbers
- 2 limes
- ½ ripe cantaloupe
- ½ cup feta cheese
- ⅓ cup red onion
- 1 tbsp chile lime seasoning
Instructions
- First, slice the cantaloupe into small, bite-sized pieces. Slice the cantaloupe in half and de-seed with a spoon. Using a knife, remove the skin from the cantaloupe. Cut into vertical pieces. Then, dice perpendicularly into ~1 inch cubes.
- Dice your red onion very finely. You can also use a vegetable shaver to create more delicate onion flavor in your salad.
- Slice cucumbers and mint leaves finely.
- Combine all ingredients in a mixing bowl. Squeeze limes to coat the salad in lime juice. Then, sprinkle chile lime seasoning. Gently toss.
- Serve immediately or chill in the refrigerator to enjoy later.

Notes
- Not a fan of cantaloupe? Don't fear. Try using fresh mango, pineapple, or apples. You can also substitute honeydew to incorporate a different melon and make this a green goddess salad.
- Store this salad in an airtight container for one day. Due to the high water content of the ingredients, it’s best served fresh because the juices will create a soggy salad.
