I served this last night at a small Bible study group. I didn't have any mint, but it was still delicious. Made more today. Great summer dish.

I served this salad last night @ Bunco and it was a big hit (although there was some skeptism expressed before trying it!) It's an intriguing combination of ingredients that's refreshing and tasty. Make sure your melon is nice and sweet to contrast with the other flavors.
