Farmer’s markets are showcasing their summer melons and fresh cucumbers.

Fresh ripe cantaloupe are available at the local Farmer’s Market
Cantaloupe & Cucumber Salad with Spicy Pepitas is a flavour forward savoury fruit salad, accented by the sweetness of the fruit and the bite of the pepitas, dressed in a lime and honey flavour.
This amazing salad will make you a fan of cantaloupe. Cantaloupe gets a bad rep as the hard, tasteless fruit they put in buffets. This farm fresh version tastes of sunshine and sweetness.
The spicy pepitas temper the sweetness of this salad and combined with the lime and honey dressing, make you yearn for a second helping.
Enjoy!
