Cucumber Melon Salad

- LW

This is a refreshing cold salad that goes very well with grilled meat in the summer. It would also be a good side for spicy food.

If you diced the cucumber and melon into smaller pieces, this would also make a great salsa to scoop up with chips.

Ingredients
1/2 cantaloupe, chopped into 1/2 inch or 1 inch pieces

3 small cucumbers, peeled, chopped into 1/2 inch pieces

1/2 jalapeno pepper, seeded and minced

Lime zest from one lime

Juice from ½ a lime (or more to taste)

2-3 green onions or chives to taste

1/4 cup cilantro (I could also see mint working very well here instead.)

1 Tablespoon olive oil

Salt and pepper to taste

Directions
Mix all ingredients in a non-reactive bowl and serve chilled or at room temperature.
