Cantaloupe Peach Salad with Fresh Mozzarella

This fruit salad with cantaloupe and peaches, tomatoes, cucumbers and fresh mozzarella is simple yet delicious and refreshing.

This salad is perfect served as a summer dessert topped with ice cream, for breakfast with yogurt and granola, or as an appetizer.

This summer I can't seem to get enough of fruit salads. I have always loved fresh fruits as much as I enjoy breads and cheeses (it's all about balancing, right?), but growing my own cantaloupes might have something to do with my latest obsession with fruit salads.

First I started by giving this old Fruit Salad recipe a fresher look, updating the photos and making a few adjustments to the original recipe.

Then I made this Watermelon Feta Salad, curious combination that had me wondering... turns out, it was so delicious and I ate it in all three meals for three days. No joke!

All while eyeballing my quickly growing cantaloupes in the garden, already scanning my brain for all the recipes I wanted to make with my homegrown cantaloupes.

The day came, when while visiting my garden the smell of fresh cantaloupe was so strong and overpowering my otherwise tomato scented garden. I knew they were ready to come home.

My homegrown cantaloupe was juicy and sweet like honey. I ate it like a child would, carelessly while cantaloupe juice ran down my chin and forearms. My belly was happy but my soul was happiest 🙂

So I made another fruit salad (sorry, but not sorry!). This yummy cantaloupe salad with peaches, garden fresh tomatoes and cucumbers, fresh mozzarella cheese and lots of mint and basil, because I can never decide which I like more.
