Ingredients

1 medium cucumber
1/2 large cantaloupe, seeds discarded
1 bunch of radishes, cleaned
1/4 cup raspberry vinegar
Pepper (optional)
4 lettuce leaves


Directions

Partially peel the cucumber in strips, leaving some of the dark green to add color. Cut the cucumber into bite-size pieces and put in a medium bowl. Cut the cantaloupe into cubes or use a melon baller to scoop out small balls. Add to the cucumber pieces. Thinly slice the radishes. Add to the cucumber and cantaloupe. Toss the salad with the vinegar. Sprinkle with the pepper. Refrigerate, covered, until chilled, about 30 minutes to 1 hour. Serve on four plates lined with the lettuce.

Makes 4 servings.
