STRAWBERRY, CUCUMBER & HONEYDEW SALAD
Strawberries and cucumbers together-I just love this combination! We used to eat a lot of cucumbers growing up in upstate New York. We'd get them, along with strawberries and melons, from fruit and veggie stands to make this sweet and tangy salad. -Melissa Mccabe, Long Beach, California

HONEYDEW AND CUCUMBER SALAD WITH SESAME
Steps:
- In a bowl whisk together the vinegar, the gingerroot, the tamari or soy sauce, the sugar, the sesame oil, the red pepper flakes, and the vegetable oil until the dressing is combined well. Add the cucumber, the melon, and the scallions, toss the salad until it is combined well, and sprinkle it with the sesame seeds.
- Fresh, ripe produce is best for any fruit salad, so choose the best quality strawberries, cucumbers, and honeydew melon you can find.
- Make sure to wash and dry all the produce thoroughly before cutting it. This will help prevent any unwanted bacteria from entering the salad.
- Cut the fruit into uniform pieces so that they will cook evenly. You can use a sharp knife or a kitchen mandoline to make this task easier.
- If you are using a honeydew melon that is not ripe, you can add a bit of sugar to the salad to help sweeten it.
- This salad can be served immediately or chilled for later. If you are chilling it, be sure to cover it tightly so that it doesn't absorb any other flavors from the refrigerator.
- Garnish the salad with fresh mint or basil before serving for an extra pop of flavor.
- This salad is also a great source of vitamins A and C, which are important for a healthy immune system.
