Notes
This cucumber melon salad is best served chilled. You can chill your melons before cutting them, or prepare the salad and store it in the fridge for 30 minutes to an hour before serving.
Cutting the melons and cucumber into similar-sized pieces ensures that each bite has a balanced mix of flavors and textures.
While this salad is best enjoyed the same day as it’s made, leftovers should be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator where they will keep for about 1-2 days. Note that as the salad sits, the melons will release more moisture and the texture of both the fruit and the cucumber will be affected.
