Step 1

Place melon, tomatoes and cucumber in a large salad bowl. Season with salt and pepper to taste, and toss well. Drizzle with olive oil and lime juice. Toss lightly and leave to marinate for a few minutes and up to 30 minutes, to let the flavors mingle.

Step 2

Add the basil leaves, tearing larger leaves into pieces, and the mint leaves.

Step 3

Just before serving, fold the leaves into the salad and toss well. Taste and add a little more lime juice, as needed.
