Special Precautions and Tips:
- If you're using a very ripe cantaloupe or honeydew melon, you may want to reduce the amount of lime juice you add to the dressing.
- To make the salad ahead of time, prepare the fruit and dressing separately and store them in the refrigerator. Combine them just before serving.
- If you don't have fresh cilantro or mint, you can use 1/4 teaspoon of dried cilantro or mint instead.
