Cantaloupe Salad

Here’s a special salad from Dave Lieberman’s cooking show -- Cantaloupe, drizzled with honey, juices from grated ginger and garnished with freshly torn mint to cool the tastebuds and body. You have to try this just once!

I remember that in the book (which we both like very much, it's the Tuscany story by Frances Mayes)Cantaloupe melons are mentioned again and again, evidently a special memory of hers from the Southern States. Your recipe is mouth-watering ! I love sweet ripe melon (but here the season is off, more or less), I love ginger - and so do I with ment. So next summer I will try this for sure ! Have a good day, angelika
hi Paz, I dont often buy cantaloupe, but I really like the idea of honey and ginger on it. I wonder if I can still get cantaloupes here..I'll have to look!
Paz this looks just the right blend between sweet, cool, and light! With the ginger to keep you on your toes...Wish I had a bit of this right now :)
I'm not even the hugest fan of canteloupe but this picture and recipe might very well have converted me.
Tattum: Yes, must try! As Angelika pointed out, a sweet ripe melon is delicious. ;-)
Angelika: I love ginger, too. I have to reread Frances Mayes book again. I do recommend this to you for next summer!
Michele, Joey, Mona: Yes, the honey and ginger make the difference.
Mona: It's a must try at least once. ;-)
Best,
Paz
I guess cantaloupe is what we call rock melon here. Must try this as it is so simple.
Hello Chef Paz, this sounds like a lovely salad - and so simple to make! Mmm, must look out for a nice ripe cantaloupe now:)
Hi Boo: It's always interesting to find out that there's more than one name for a food. Rock Melon? I like that name too. ;-)
Hi Pille! Good to see you here. I hope you find ripe delicious cantaloupe!
Best,
Paz
