Cantaloupe-Arugula Salad

Cantaloupe-Arugula Salad

Serves 4

30 minutes or fewer

The delicate leaves and subtle spiciness of arugula make it an ideal complement to fresh fruit. Here, it lends freshness and crunch to a sweet-and-salty melon salad.
  • 3 cups cantaloupe balls (1 ½ lb.)
  • 1 cup tightly packed arugula
  • 1 Tbs. olive oil
  • 1 ½ tsp. cracked black pepper
  • 2 oz. ricotta salata or manchego cheese, shaved or cut into small cubes

Toss together cantaloupe, arugula, oil, and pepper in large bowl. Season with salt, if desired. Divide among dessert coupes or bowls, and top each serving with cheese.

Great salad. I made this for a party and, unfortunately, the store I went to didn't have the manchego (and it was pouring outside, so I didn't venture on, but substituted a pecorino. Add a little salt and pepper and it's great. Very filling and the leftovers made a great lunch the next day.

Pretty good! I used the manchego cheese, i think the ricotta would've been better. I also added apple cider vinegar for a little zing. But, I would make it again.
