This refreshing cantaloupe and cucumber salad is a vibrant celebration of summer produce. The natural sweetness of the melon pairs beautifully with the cool, crisp texture of English cucumber, while sliced chillies add a subtle, warming heat. Dressed in a light, fragrant vinaigrette infused with ground coriander and cardamom, this vegan dish offers a sophisticated balance of flavours that is both hydrating and deeply satisfying.
Ideal as a light lunch or a revitalising side dish for a weekend barbecue, this healthy salad is elevated by the addition of crunchy roasted pumpkin seeds and fresh garden herbs. A final dusting of tangy sumac provides a distinctive citrusy note that cuts through the sweetness of the fruit. It is a simple yet elegant way to bring a modern, Middle Eastern-inspired twist to your seasonal menu.
