Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 1 medium melon, or a mix of various kinds of melon
  • 1/2 fresno chile, seeds removed, thinly sliced or other small-medium and mild-medium chile pepper
  • 1 juicy lime
  • flaky sea salt to taste
  • 1/3 cup crumbled feta cheese or goat cheese
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh mint leaves
  • 2 tablespoons toasted black sesame seeds or other seeds of choice

Method
 

  1. Cut melon in half lengthwise, and scoop out seeds. Slice into 1/4-inch crescents and trim off the skin. Arrange melon on a serving plate, overlapping one or two layers.
  2. Sprinkle chile slices on top of fruit—taste the chile to ensure you don't add too much heat.
  3. Squeeze lime juice over the fruit, and sprinkle generously with flaky sea salt.
  4. Top with crumbled feta or goat cheese, fresh mint, and toasted black sesame seeds. Enjoy!
