Recipe Notes

Expert Tips

Choose ripe fruit: The flavor of this salad relies on the sweetness of the fruit. Select ripe, fragrant muskmelon and bananas for the best results.
Control the sweetness: If your muskmelon is particularly sweet, reduce the amount of added salt. Taste and adjust as needed.
Add some crunch: Toasted slivered almonds, pecans, or walnuts add a wonderful textural contrast to the soft fruit.
Citrus variations: Experiment with other citrus fruits like grapefruit, mandarin oranges, or even a squeeze of lime juice for a different flavor profile.
