I'm not a big fan of melon, but I really enjoyed this salad. The citrus and mint helped to balance out the sweetness of the melon.

This salad is a great way to use up leftover fruit. I had some watermelon and cantaloupe that were about to go bad, so I threw them in this salad and it turned out great!
