Another treat from the July 2010 Costa Rica Adventure, and just in time to make use of the many melon choices available now in Farmer's Markets around the country. Use any combination of melons that you like for this delicious salsa. Use this as a topping for fresh garden greens, on top of the Creamy Cauliflower Spread or the Avocado & Pasta Salad, rolled up in a wrap with one of the many spreads from the June 2010 newsletter, or just enjoy it plain in a bowl.
