Cantaloupe, Feta and Fig Salad

Need some summertime salad inspo? Chefs, recipe developers and sisters Helena and Vikki Moursellas have you covered. “This is the kind of salad we crave in the summertime. Cantaloupe is juicy and refreshing, and works perfectly in salads,” they write in their book Peináo: A Greek Feast for All. “This sweet and salty match is inspired by the classic watermelon and feta salad, but with our own little spin that uses cantaloupe and figs.”
