Melon salad with feta and roasted nuts

Time
10 minutes

Are always ready to try something new? Deliciously sweet, white flesh of the piel de sapo melon hides inside a rather rough looking green skin. Have you tried one? They are popular in countries like Spain and Morocco and for the past few years we have been growing them on our farm in Gumlu, Queensland, Australia. This salad combines the sweetness of the piel de sapo melon with something salty like feta.
