Cucumber, Melon and Farro Salad with Feta image

This is the quintessential summer salad--the one that everyone at the cookout lines up for. Cantaloupe, cucumbers and fresh mint are the refreshing base. Sweet cherry tomatoes add bright notes (and color!) and farro lends heft and nutty taste. Salty feta and a tart red wine vinaigrette round out the flavors in this easy make-ahead salad.

COOL AND CRUNCHY MELON-CUCUMBER SALAD



Cool and Crunchy Melon-Cucumber Salad image

This summer, add cucumber to a melon salad to make it extra-crisp and cool. We cut watermelon and cantaloupe into cubes and balls for a beautifully geometric presentation that can be eaten with toothpicks. We also tossed them as a salad, dressed with yuzu juice (available at Asian supermarkets and specialty stores), though it's equally out-of-this-world with lime or lemon juice.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Salad Recipes

Number Of Ingredients 7

1/2 cup watermelon cubes or balls
1/2 cup cantaloupe cubes or balls
1/2 cup sliced cucumber
1/2 teaspoon extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 teaspoon yuzu juice (or 1 teaspoon lime or lemon juice)
Salt and pepper
Basil leaves

Steps:

  • To make one serving, combine watermelon and cantaloupe cubes or balls with cucumber. Drizzle with olive oil and yuzu juice (or lime or lemon juice). Season with salt and pepper; stir to combine. Garnish with basil leaves.

WATERMELON CUCUMBER SALAD

CUCUMBER, MELON AND WATERMELON SALAD



Cucumber, Melon and Watermelon Salad image

Watermelon and feta has been in vogue for some time (and forever in Greece). I decided to throw in some of my endless supply of cucumbers and mix it up with the melons. I cut the melon and cucumber into medium-size dice (1/2 to 3/4 inch), but you can also make this more like a salsa and cut the produce into fine dice.
