Preparation

Step 1

In a small jar with a lid, combine the yogurt, lemon juice, and salt. Cover and shake to blend. In a large shallow bowl, combine the cantaloupe, tomatoes, cheese, cucumber, and scallions. Toss the salad with just enough dressing to coat the ingredients lightly and evenly. Shower with the basil and mint, and season generously with black pepper.
