4 - 6 servings
30 minutes
5 minutes
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
2 whole red onions, sliced 1/4 inch thick
2 organic cantaloupes
1 whole Sharlyn Melon
1/4 cup mint - leaves chopped
1 tablespoon lime juice - fresh
1/2 cup feta cheese, crumbled (about 4 ounces)
1/4 cup pine nuts - toasted
In a large skillet heat oil over moderate heat until hot but not smoking and cook onions, stirring occasionally, until just softened. Remove skillet from heat and cool onions.
With a sharp knife, cut a slice from top and bottom of each melon to expose flesh and arrange with a cut side down on a cutting board.
Cutting from top to bottom, remove rind. Halve melons, discarding seeds, and cut 1 cantaloupe half and 1 honeydew half into 1-inch-thick wedges.
Arrange wedges on a platter. Cut remaining melon into 3/4-inch chunks and, in a bowl, toss with mint, lime juice, and pepper to taste.
Spoon melon mixture over melon wedges on platter and top with onions, feta, and pine nuts. Just before serving, toss mixture to combine.
