Ingredients
  

For the Salad
  • 1 large Cantaloupe Provides sweetness and juiciness; substitute with honeydew or fresh mango for varied sweetness.
  • 2 medium English Cucumbers Adds crunch and freshness; small cucumbers have fewer seeds.
  • 1 cup Feta Cheese Introduces creaminess; goat cheese is a tangy alternative.
  • 1/4 cup Red Onion Delivers a sharp flavor contrast; finely diced.
  • 1/4 cup Fresh Mint Leaves Contributes a refreshing aroma and taste; basil is a good substitute.
For the Dressing
  • 2 medium Limes Offers acidity to balance the sweetness; fresh lime juice is best.
  • 1 teaspoon Chile Lime Seasoning Enhances flavor with a hint of spice; omit or substitute with Tajín.
