Honeydew & Cucumber Salad with Buffalo Feta

By Vannella Cheese

How can you not love this time of the year. It’s time for bright, zingy flavours.

This recipe is very refreshing and should be served cold. The sweetness of the melon with the cool cucumbers is a match made in heaven. We like to pair it with our creamy Marinated Buffalo Feta to deliver the salty kick this salad cries for.
