Peppery Cantaloupe Cubes

Recipe #102423 | 10 min | 10 min prep | add private note

I love sharing these two ingredient recipes, though this one may sound a little odd. I must admit when I heard a chef on TV say that freshly ground black pepper on sweet cantaloupe is exceptional, I was thinking more like- bizarre! But once you taste this, especially you cantaloupe lovers, you may never eat it any other way.

SERVES 4 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

Directions

  1. 1
    Divide cantaloupe cubes into 4 dessert bowls.
  2. 2
    Using pepper mill, grind freshly ground black pepper over cantaloupe to taste.
  3. 3
    Note; Be sure to use freshly ground black pepper- I'm not sure if regular pepper would have the same effect.
  4. 4
    A very ripe cantaloupe, the sweeter the better, works best.

This is how I eat my cantaloupe. Most of my coworkers think I am nuts. I love black pepper on it. I think this is a must try for everyone. Once you try it, it will be how you eat it from now on!
