Author Bon Appétit
Published 2019-06-04

Cantaloupe with Sugar Snap Peas and Ricotta Salata. Salty and sweet, crunchy and juicy, this throw-it-together summer side has it all. View Recipe.
Tomato-Watermelon Salad with Turmeric Oil. Red, juicy, and sweet, tomatoes and watermelon are soul mates, and they both need salt, spice, and fat to reach their full potential.
Melon Panzanella. In this unexpected take on panzanella, chunks of ripe melon take the place of tomatoes. But the unexpected star is the brine from the Peppadew peppers: Spicy, sweet, and tart, it combines with the melon's juices and soaks into the toasted bread.
Honeydew, Jicama, and Mango Salad. Don’t worry about removing all of the melon seeds in this take on the popular Mexican street snack—they’re edible and add a little crunch.
Honeydew Salad with Ginger Dressing and Peanuts. Just the side your barbecue ribs are looking for, this all-green salad gets a kick from serrano, ginger, and just a hint of fish sauce.
Watermelon, Endive, and Fig Salad. Perfect as either a side salad or a cocktail hour snack platter, you’re going to want to keep serving this mix of complementary sweet and salty and crunchy and soft bites all summer long.
Watermelon with Lime Dressing and Peanuts. The jagged, irregular chunks of fruit in this salad recipe make it clear that something unexpected is about to happen.
Cantaloupe and Cucumber Salad. Savory fruit salads are officially a thing. (And, for the record, cucumber is a fruit.) View Recipe.
Honeydew and Fennel Salad with Basil. If you have a perfectly ripe melon—great! If you don’t, no worries. The salt, acid, and a bit of heat here will give life to lackluster specimens.
