Can’t elope salad
My husband and I had three weddings. No eloping here! He did, however, show up with a random canteloupe yesterday. I am reasonably sure I have never eaten anything but plain canteloupe, possibly mixed with other melons in a fruit salad type dish. I decided to try something new, as should you.
Can’t Elope Salad
1/2 canteloupe, seeds removed and diced
1 small cucumber, sliced
1/2 c cashews
1/2 c feta cheese
6-8 fresh mint leaves, chopped
Spinach (as salad base)
For the dressing:
2 tbsp ginger paste
3 tbsp lemon juice
Healthy splort of Sriracha (spice to taste)
Three pinches of salt
3/4 c plain yogurt
Mix the dressing ingredients, then mix with the rest of the ingredients. Let it sit for 10- 15 minutes to let the cantaloupe juice mix with the dressing.
Serve over a heaping pile of fresh spinach
