Fresh Tri-Melon Salad With Thai Chile Vinaigrette
I just adore how this recipe came out. We have fast-approached the tail end of summer harvest and I had to take a moment to highlight and appreciate the 3 melons I was able to grow successfully in my garden this season. Watermelon, cantaloupe, and little adorable cucamelons. I topped it with fresh cherry tomatoes, sesame seeds, and Thai basil. To dress the salad, I created a Thai Chile vinaigrette with sweet Thai Chile sauce as the predominant flavor.
If you have never had a cucamelon, they are sort of like a hybrid between a cucumber and a melon. They are little bitty and they have a sharp and bright taste like a cucumber and lemon. This salad is multi-flavored with a bit savory and sweet, with a little heat. I thought the textures were just so perfect together with the flavor combinations. This would be a standout dish to serve with a brunch! Enjoy :)

What are cucamelons and can you replace with something easier to find?
This is such a beautiful dish - thanks for sharing! Now I'm on the hunt for cucamelons so I can make this delicious-sounding recipe.
