Cantaloupe Salad with Cucumbers, Basil and Feta Cheese
This beautiful summer salad is an unexpected twist on a classic watermelon feta salad. Weiser Family Farms had the most amazing melon the other day, as well as some fantastic Puglia-style sweet cucumbers and the combination of the two together, with fresh basil and the strong Feta cheese made this dish one that will become a staple on my summer table.
