    A wonderfully light starter, we used a combo of chanterey and galia melon which looked lovely -will definately do it again!

    This is so divine! I served it as a starter for a group of friends and there's nothing more scrumptious on a hot summer evening than this lovely light dish with lots of lovely bread to mop up the dressing. Everyone loved it and asked for more!
