Ingredients

1/2 cup of extra virgin olive oil

1/2 cup of best white wine vinegar /spluge with champagne vinegar

1/2 teaspoon of dijon style mustard

3 tablespoons of finely minced fresh mint

1 tablespoon of finely minced parsley

big pinch of sugar

big pinch of salt

1 ripe honeydew melon, peeled, seeded and chunked

1 English cucumber, peeled and chunked

Directions

In a jar with a tight fitting lid, combine the dressing ingredients.

Shake like crazy. Good exercise!

Let stand a room temp for 40 minutes to meld the flavors.

Shake vigorously just before pouring just enough to moisten the chunks of melon and cukes.

Chill and serve.

Great with a grilled meat. Especially a grilled lamb! Good marriage of flavors.

Sounds like a great combination of flavors. I take it the melon and cucumber are not part of the dressing ingredients? (Sorry if it's obvious, figured I should make sure.)

You are right, the cucumber and the melon are the salad part and you shake the other ingredients to pour over the cukes and melon pieces. Sorry I wasn't clear enough in the directions. But the flavors are great and cucumbers seem to be underutilized veggie. I love them and you can't beat them when mixed in a benedictine spread. Yum. :)
