This refreshing salad combines the sweetness of melons with a tangy sesame citrus dressing, perfect for a light summer meal.
Combine the sugar, champagne vinegar, white wine vinegar, salt, and ground ginger in a small saucepan.
Stir constantly to ensure the sugar dissolves evenly and doesn't stick to the pan.
Heat the mixture over medium heat until the sugar dissolves completely, then remove from heat.
Avoid boiling the mixture to preserve the delicate flavors of the vinegar.
Whisk in the sesame oil and cayenne pepper until the dressing is well combined.
Add the sesame oil gradually while whisking to create a smooth emulsion.
In a large bowl, combine the watermelon, cantaloupe, and cucumber.
Cut the fruits and cucumber into uniform bite-sized pieces for a consistent texture.
Drizzle half of the dressing over the salad and toss gently to coat.
Use a light hand when tossing to avoid crushing the delicate fruits.
Line salad bowls with lettuce leaves and top with the dressed salad mixture.
Arrange the lettuce leaves neatly for an appealing presentation.
Garnish with fresh cilantro and serve immediately.
Serve the salad chilled for the best flavor and texture.
