Found this recipe attached to the cilantro that came in with a produce
order at work.  Not a melon man myself, but I figured there'd be some
chileheads who are gaga over such.  Anywho...

Cantaloupe Salsa
----------------
1/2     large ripe cantaloupe
3/4 cup finely diced red bell pepper
1/4 cup finely chopped cilantro
3 TBSP finely chopped scallions, white and green parts
juice of lime
pinch of salt and hot pepper flakes

Remove seeds and rind from cantaloupe.  Chop cantaloupe into very small
dice.  Put in bowl.  Add diced red pepper, cilantro, scallions, and lime
juice.  Stir.  Add pinch of salt and pepper flakes.  Chill.  Serve with
grilled chicken, fish, or steaks.  Makes 4 servings.  This is an offical 5
A Day recipe.

Of course, I figure most of us will read "..and hot pepper flakes" as
something like "..and 1+ habanero, finely chopped".

Eat 'em up...

Peace, Hendrix, and Chiles.......
