Comments:

    This “Fruit of the season” dessert/salad pairs beautifully with our Orange Muscat.  The secret is getting the melon really ripe.  I put them out on the counter and wait until I can smell them.  I smell them once a day until they are ready. If one gets ready before the other, put it in the refrigerator and wait.  Honeydew generally ripens more slowly than cantaloupe.  Water melon is the exception.  You can usually count on the center to be ripe.  Or, buy slices ready to serve.
