1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese (about 4 ounces)

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    In a large skillet heat oil over moderate heat until hot but not smoking and cook onions, stirring occasionally, until just softened. Remove skillet from heat and cool onions.

Halve melons, discarding seeds, and cut 1 cantaloupe half and 1 honeydew half into 1-inch-thick wedges. Arrange wedges on a platter. Cut remaining melon into 3/4-inch chunks and in a bowl toss with mint, lime juice, and pepper to taste.
