You can’t have summer without a cantaloupe!

Besides the fruit being one of the prettiest around (that color is so in for the season!), cantaloupes and are filled with vitamins that can even make you more beautiful by reducing blemishes on your skin!

Their delicious flesh is also incredibly hydrating (we’re talking 90% water) and makes a fantastic substitute when you’re craving something sweet.

Can you even resist? We cantaloupe (sorry).

Cantaloupe Kebabs

Kids will love ‘em, adults will love ‘em, and you’ll love ‘em because they’re so easy to make!

Use a melon scooper to carve out little balls of cantaloupe and alternate them on skewers with other fruit.

Love melon the most? Go all-in with the cantaloupe and add some cold meat like prosciutto for a classic combination!

Cantaloupe and Cucumber Salad

Just because cantaloupes are fruit, doesn’t mean you can’t put them in a salad (look at tomatoes!).

Slice up some melon and cucumbers, chop some mint, and crumble in some feta for a salad that tastes just like summer in a bowl.

Chilled Cantaloupe Soup

Bear with us for this because we know it sounds strange.

You probably won’t find fruit soup on the menu at your corner restaurant, but that doesn’t mean it isn’t totally worth trying.

This take on gazpacho features ginger, honey, nutmeg, basil leaves, and yogurt to get a velvety consistency.
