I made a version of the recipe just now before I even read this recipe! I had my bowl of cantaloupe. I’m like let’s put some balsamic on it. Well, that tastes good, let’s try some seasoning salt. So I have this Himalayan pink seasoning, salt, mixed with chili flakes, and other herbs. It’s not real spicy and I just used a sprinkle over the melon. Taste buds are popping! I need to go change my pants! I’ve never had anything so good in my life, I can’t wait to cut up a melon and add it to my next salad. I’ve eaten all kinds of fruit with my salad, and used all kinds of vinaigrettes and homemade dressings. Including strawberries, blueberries, apples, oranges, grapes, and now I will add melons. I’m not sure if I would add watermelon, mostly because it’s a lighter texture, and I think the more salad, cantaloupe and honeydew’s will hold it hold up better.
Sorry Sandra, but this was not our favorite.
I tried this since it was rated so highly (and so many of her recipes are not 🙁 ) and it was terrible. Then, I went back and read the reviews and saw someone used chili powder instead of chili seasoning. I tried the recipe again and it was much better. This recipe has to be wrong. Chili seasoning is an insane addition to melon.
I had thirteen people over for dinner and I made this recipe. I used 1 canalope, 1 honeydew and 1 small seedless watermelon. At first I thought?? mmmm chili powder??? I made it and everyone including myself LOVED it, it was refreshing on a hot day. I will make this over and over again!! Thank you!
easy and the flavor was undescribly delicous. i made the muffins,turkey tortilla cassrole and peachs&cream shortcake for my co-workers. they all recieved a copy of all the recipies including the martuni keep them coming
