Super yummy! I didn’t have any sesame seeds but made the rest per recipe. Let it rest for 6 hours before eating and the flavors were well married. It’s very refreshing. I will make this again for sure.

This was so tasty. Best to let sit overnight for flavors

Delicious! So different and refreshing

Lovely and easy for me to make

So I was super skeptical about this. I hate cucumbers but I thought eh, on a diet, it’s light, why not? Absolutely amazed how good it is!!! Vet refreshing and something yummy for a hot summer day! 10/10

This was an excellent and refreshing salad. We found the Koran melon and Lemon Drop Melon at Fresh Market, but I can’t imagine it wouldn’t work with whatever melon you could find!

My husband has not eaten any type of melon in our 25+ years together and he's not a mint fan either. After much pleading and a little sweet talk, he agreed to try this salad. What can I say? He LOVED it! I didn't get one word out of him until he finished the whole bowl....yup, that's a great sign. No one flavor overpowers the other and it is so very fresh and light. The citrus and honey compliment the melon to perfection, and the mint adds another layer of flavor without upsetting the balance. We served ours with the Fresh Market crab cakes and had a high end restaurant quality meal. *His favorite was the Korean melon. Visually this salad is a stunner too, especially with the sesame seed "garnish". Try something new, you never know what you'll like and it's never to late to try foods you didn't like 30 years ago!!

I love watching for these recipes on fresh market. They’re always new and refreshing and a hit with not only the guest but the people prepping the meals. The melon and cucumber salad wow. We even took it up a notch and added kale. So healthy and refreshing!! I give it a perfect 10!

Love the flavors —
