Cantaloupe Salads / Kirni Salad

Cantaloupe aka Kirni, the humble fruit from the musk melon family is either too sweet or too bland. This aspect actually makes it very versatile to make any kind of salads. Sweet salad or spicy one. I have tried both and love both of it.

Since the flesh is pretty firm its easy to scoop out balls using melon ballers and that makes it look more interesting. :)
