On hot summer days, it’s nice to beat the heat with a salad made of refreshing ingredients. When you think of refreshing, two things near the top of the list are cucumbers (where do you think we get the phrase “cool as a cucumber”??) and honeydew melon. The cool combination of these two summer favorites, makes this Cucumber Honeydew Salad Recipe extra refreshing!
Be sure to chill this Cucumber Honeydew Salad recipe and keep it nice and cool. If serving at an outdoor event, you can do this by setting your salad bowl in another bowl that is a bit larger and filled with ice. It’s easy to do and easy to serve.
