Cantaloupe and Blue Cheese Salad image

This is from the Sept 08 issue of Cook's Country. I made this for a family bbq over the summer and everyone loved it. It's suggested to use a mild blue cheese, such as a gorgonzola, in this recipe. If you don't have a melon baller, cut the melon into 1-inch pieces. Toast the pecans in a dry skillet over medium heat, shaking often until golden, about five minutes.

I used feta cheese instead of blue cheese and it was still really good. This salad is very versatile.
