Ingredients
½ pound watermelon, cut into ½-inch thick slices
½ pound honeydew melon, cut into ½-inch thick slices
½ pound cantaloupe, cut into ½-inch thick slices
¾ cup chopped fresh basil
¼ cup lemon juice (or more, if you like your salad really tart)
1 tablespoon lemon zest
¼ teaspoon salt (optional)
¾ pound Kefalotyri, cut into ½-inch cubes
2 tablespoons grapeseed oil, or fruity olive oil

Procedures:

• Using these vegetables cutters or your choice of other tiny cookie cutters, cut your melon slices into as many little shapes as you can get out of each slice.
• In a large bowl toss together melon, basil, lemon juice, lemon zest, and salt. Add ketalotyri or the cheese of your choice, crumbling gently with your fingers. Using a wooden spoon, gently fold the salad while dribbling in the oil. Taste and add more salt, if you like. Serve chilled or at room temperature.
