Cantaloupe Salami Salad Recipe

Prep/Total Time: 30 min.

Yield: 4 Servings

30 30

Ingredients

2 medium cantaloupe
1 cup cubed salami
1 medium cucumber, halved, seeded and sliced
3 tablespoons lemon juice
2 tablespoons honey
1/4 teaspoon minced fresh marjoram

Directions

Cut each cantaloupe in half; discard seeds and remove melon. Cut melon into cubes; place in a large bowl. Cut a thin slice off the bottom of each cantaloupe half so the shell sits level; pat dry and set aside.
Add salami and cucumber to melon cubes. In a jar with a tight-fitting lid, combine the lemon juice, honey and marjoram; shake well. Drizzle over cantaloupe mixture and toss to coat. Serve in cantaloupe shells. Yield: 4 servings.
