Tips for Asian Broccoli and Cantaloupe Salad

  • Choose firm, ripe cantaloupe; very soft pieces can collapse and make the salad watery.
  • Keep the broccoli pieces small and even so they are easy to eat alongside the melon.
  • Add the feta shortly before serving for a more distinct salty, crumbly texture.

Drink pairing

A dry, crisp rosé
Its bright acidity suits the melon and vinegar, while its light body complements the broccoli and feta.

0% option: Chilled sparkling water with a squeeze of lemon

Storage

Refrigerate leftovers in a covered container within 2 hours and eat within 3–4 days. The melon may release liquid and soften the salad as it sits.

Frequently asked questions

Can I make this salad ahead?

It is best assembled close to serving so the melon stays firm and the salad does not become watery.

How can I tell if the cantaloupe is ripe?

Look for a fragrant, sweet aroma and a slight give at the stem end; avoid fruit with soft, wet spots.

What should I serve with this salad?

Serve it as a fresh side with grilled chicken, fish, or a simple rice dish.
