For all of you CSA members who might be receiving some of our first melons of the season (and for those lucky ones who find them at our farmers’ markets)...I wanted to give you a couple of ideas for new and interesting ways to prepare meals with melons. Try it or leave it. Play with different ingredients. If you love it, share it. If not, well…out to the compost. Happy Summer Sunshine!!
Cantaloupe and Avocado Salad with Honey Lime Dressing (Serves 4)
Ingredients:
3 tablespoons fresh lime juice
4 teaspoons honey
1 tablespoon plus 2 teaspoons olive oil
1/2 teaspoon coarse salt
1 cantaloupe (3 pounds), quartered and seeded
1 avocado, halved, pitted, and skinned
1 cup grape tomatoes, halved
Directions:
In a large bowl, whisk together lime juice, honey, oil, and salt; set aside.
Cut each cantaloupe quarter in half lengthwise. Run a knife between the flesh and the skin of the melon; discard skin. Slice each wedge lengthwise into 1/2-inch pieces.
Cut each avocado half again length-wise and then into 1/2-inch-thick slices. Add cantaloupe, avocado, and grape tomatoes to bowl with dressing and toss to coat. Divide among 4 plates.
Honeydew Salad with Blueberries (Serves 6)
Ingredients:
2 teaspoons minced or grated fresh ginger
1 tablespoon rice-wine vinegar
2 teaspoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
1/4 teaspoon coarse salt
3 scallions, cut diagonally into 1/4-inch pieces
1/2 small jicama (about 4 ounces), peeled and cut into 1/4-inch-thick matchsticks
1/2 honeydew melon, peeled, seeded, and cut into 1/2-inch cubes (about 2 cups)
1 orange bell pepper, cut into 1/4-inch-thick strips
1 1/2 cups fresh blueberries (about 1/2 pound), picked over and rinsed
4 ounces baby arugula
2 teaspoons canola oil
Freshly ground black pepper
Directions:
In a small bowl, whisk together ginger, vinegar, lemon juice, and salt.
In a serving bowl, combine scallions, jicama, honeydew, bell pepper, and blueberries. Pour ginger mixture over salad, and toss to combine (salad can be made up to this point 30 minutes ahead of time).
Just before serving, add arugula to salad mixture; drizzle with the oil, and season generously with black pepper.
