This incredibly simple and flavorful salad is perfect for all your summer gatherings or a refreshing snack.

The blend of melons in this salad, are enhanced by the addition of lemon, which draws out the natural sweetness and the basil adds a fun pop of licorice.

Now, not everyone is a fan of basil, and I understand, but give this salad a try, it works incredibly well with the melon.
