Savory Cantaloupe and Feta Salad

This cantaloupe salad with feta and sage is the sort of dish that taught me to learn to love cantaloupe. Cantaloupe has a certain muskiness to it (in fact, one of its names is “muskmelon”) that makes it work wonderfully in a savory salad. Here, the distinct flavor is set off by spicy red onion, fresh sage, creamy feta, and a hint of balsamic. Basil or mint are more traditional additions, but feel free to experiment with whatever you have on hand.
