Cucumber Melon Salad

For Mother’s Day I received The Flavor Thesaurus. I was excited to look through it and start pairing foods together that you wouldn’t normally think would go together.

I don’t know why I never thought of a cucumber melon salad as it is a fragrance at Bath & Body Works so it must go well together, right!? Well, those fragrance creators know what they are doing because not only does it smell amazing together, it tastes amazing as well.

I served this salad over simple pan seared trout and let me tell you, this salad is worth gossiping about!
