    Recipe Introduction


    The only thing more refreshing than this colorful salad on a hot
    summer day might be a dip in the pool.

    List of Ingredients




    Melon Ball Salad w/Raspberry Vinaigrette

    1 small red onion, thinly sliced
    3 cups (750 ml) balls or bite-sized pieces of ripe cantaloupe,
    honeydew, watermelon, or other fresh melons
    1-2 hearts of Romaine lettuce, cut into 1/4-inch (5 mm) pieces
    2 Tbs (30 ml) coarsely chopped or torn basil leaves
    1 Tbs (15 ml) coarsely chopped or torn mint leaves

    For the vinaigrette:
    1/4 cup (60 ml) extra-virgin olive oil
    3 Tbs (45 ml) raspberry vinegar
    2 Tbs (30 ml) finely chopped basil leaves
    1 Tbs (15 ml) finely chopped mint leaves
    Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste

    Place the onion slices in a small bowl and cover with cold water.
    Soak for 20 to 30 minutes, drain, pat dry, and combine with the melon
    balls, Romaine lettuce, and herbs. Toss gently to combine and
    refrigerate until ready to serve. Whisk together the ingredients for
    the vinaigrette and toss gently with the melon mixture immediately
    before serving. Serves 6 to 8.
