Step 2. Remove the seeds from the center with a spoon. Be careful not to apply a lot of pressure as you don not want to bruise your fruit. Cut the cantaloupe in to quarters.

Step 4. Humor me for a moment. There was a thunderstorm attacking me a this point so I forgot to take photos of the fruit being cut into eights before chunks.

I personally enjoy eating any kind of melon with kosher salt. It’s a beautiful marriage of flavors. The sweet and savory makes for a great summer time snack to enjoy while reading a book on the veranda. Sounds Nice! huh?

     Cantaloupe is in season from June through August, but you can find it all year round. It’s one of my favorite #summergolds and should be enjoyed before peak season is over. Don’t let it pass you by.

What is your favorite way to eat melon?
