About the Recipe:  Boost your veggies by making them into thin strips and giving them a sweet natural sprinkling of fresh orange/lemon juice and sweet summer melons, cantaloupe, honeydew, or watermelon. What a feast of color! Add some crunchy pumpkin seeds, a sprinkle of freshly grown thyme, and basil leaves.

Recipe Inspired by:  Fresh Thyme Crave Summer July/August 2018.

Use a thin peeler to cut cucumber into long, thin strips. Cut long strands in half, if needed, so they are easier to eat. Place in large bowl; add chopped melons, red onion, and jalapeno.

In a small bowl, whisk orange juice, lemon juice, oil, and orange zest. Season with salt and pepper. Drizzle over salad; toss to coat; Toss in raw pumpkin seeds; sprinkle with fresh thyme and basil leaves.
