Melon Salad

Melon is a great base for a salad. This one pairs Casaba with Cantaloupe. If you've never tried Casaba look for it in the market now. It has a yellow skin that looks wrinkly. The flesh is a pale green and mildly sweet but very juicy. It's one of my favorites. It goes well with savory things.

1/2 of a casaba melon,cut into cubed or made into balls
1 cantaloupe cut into cubes or made into balls
1/2 of an English cucumber, dices
10 large basil leaves, minced
1/4 cup finely diced red onion
juice of 1 lemon
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
salt and pepper

Place the melon, cucumber, basil and red onion in a bowl. Drizzle the oil and lemon juice over all. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Toss.
