Ingredients

Salad

  • 1/2 cucumber, halved lengthwise, sliced
  • 1/2 yellow bell pepper, cut into thin strips
  • 1/2 red bell pepper, cut into thin strips
  • 1 cup cubed cantaloupe
  • 1/4 cup thin red onion slivers
  • 1 cup sliced fresh strawberries

Dressing

  • 1/2 cup oil
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped fresh mint
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 2 tablespoons white wine vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons water

Steps

  • 1
    In medium nonmetal bowl, combine all salad ingredients except strawberries; toss to mix.
  • 2
    In small bowl, combine all dressing ingredients; beat with wire whisk until well blended. Pour over salad; toss to coat. Cover; refrigerate at least 1 hour or overnight to marinate.
  • 3
    Just before serving, fold in strawberries.

  • The skin of fresh cucumbers is edible. However, cucumbers purchased in grocery stores are often oiled or waxed to preserve their freshness. If the oil is heavy or can’t be washed off, you might prefer to peel the cucumber.
  • Use a mini food chopper to prepare the dressing. Process all the ingredients until they are well-blended.
  • Serve this fruit and vegetable salsa with grilled meat, poultry or fish; its sharp-sweet taste is especially good combined with smoky flavors.
