Make Bring on the Summer Flavors!
I have seen all types of melons in the store for weeks and I have been trying(eating) them...not so great. The flavors weren't fully developed yet no matter the method I used to help finish ripening the up. But now, melons are bursting with flavor and it's time to start enjoying them. This recipe is nothing ground breaking, but it's certainly delicious as a healthy snack, salad and of course side dish for a barbecue or picnic!
