Spicy Melon Salad

Ingredients

1/2 cantaloupe, halved lengthwise, seeded and cut into half-moons, rinds removed

4 dried pequin chiles



1/4 teaspoon flaky sea salt

Giada skip syrups altogether in this recipe and uses melons to build a colorful side salad with arugula, dressed simply with olive oil, lime juice, pequin chiles and sea salt.

Instructions

Shingle the cantaloupe half-moons and watermelon wedges on a platter. Crush the chiles and sprinkle them over the melons. Season with the salt. Scatter with the arugula. Drizzle the olive oil and lime juice over the top.
