A tropical and refreshing fusion dish that combines the sweetness of cantaloupe with the creamy texture of avocado and the nutty aroma of sesame oil.

Ingredients (serves 2–3)

• 1 cup Mike’s Melons cantaloupe, finely diced

• 1 ripe avocado, diced

• 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil

• 1 teaspoon low-sodium soy sauce

• 1 teaspoon lime or lemon juice

• ½ teaspoon honey or agave syrup (optional)

• 1 teaspoon freshly grated ginger (optional)

• Sesame seeds and fresh cilantro or mint leaves for garnish

Instructions

1. In a bowl, mix the diced cantaloupe with soy sauce, sesame oil, lime juice, and honey.

2. Add the grated ginger, stirring gently to combine flavors.

3. In a separate bowl, toss the avocado with a few drops of lime juice to prevent browning.

4. To plate, use a ring mold: add a layer of avocado on the bottom, followed by a layer of marinated cantaloupe.

5. Remove the ring carefully and top with sesame seeds and fresh herbs.

6. Serve chilled as a light appetizer or alongside sushi, grilled fish, or shrimp.
