Ingredients
- 1 small cantaloupe melon
- 3 mini cucumbers, thinly sliced into rounds
- 6 - 8 ounces fresh mozzarella cheese, sliced into rounds
- handful genovese or Thai basil
- drizzle of your best-quality olive oil
- to taste flaky sea salt
- for serving red chili flakes
- for serving lime wedges
Instructions
Step 1
To prepare the melon, begin by cutting off the top and bottom to create two flat surfaces. Then, working your knife along the curve of the melon, cut away the rind, reserving as much flesh as possible. When all of the rind is removed, cut in half, and scoop out seeds with a spoon. Cut each half into half again, and thinly slice.
Step 2
Arrange melon on plates or a platter, and scatter with cucumbers and mozzarella. Drizzle with plenty of olive oil and sprinkle with flaky sea salt, crushed red pepper flakes, basil, and lime wedges. Bonus points for serving on top of crushed ice.
