Notes
Not a fan of cantaloupe? Don't fear. Try using fresh mango, pineapple, or apples. You can also substitute honeydew to incorporate a different melon and make this a green goddess salad.
Store this salad in an airtight container for one day. Due to the high water content of the ingredients, it’s best served fresh because the juices will create a soggy salad.
