Cucumber Melon Salad

I LOVE this salad! So refreshing! The lime and mint is so good with the melon. I have made it several times now. The recipe comes from Cuisine at Home. It is actually what they suggest as a side to the Turkey Lettuce Wraps I recently posted. I have yet to serve it with them though. It was great with the ham. Be sure to try it when those melons are at their peak this summer. You will not be disappointed.
