- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Honey

Instructions
Wash the English cucumber and slice it into thin rounds. Alternatively, use a vegetable peeler to create cucumber ribbons for a more elegant presentation.

In a large serving bowl, combine the cucumber slices and the melon pieces.
Chop the fresh mint leaves finely and sprinkle them over the cucumber and melon mixture.
Prepare the dressing by whisking together the raspberry vinegar, olive oil, honey, salt, and black pepper in a small bowl until emulsified.
Drizzle the dressing over the cucumber and melon salad and gently toss to combine, ensuring the dressing coats all the ingredients evenly.
If desired, sprinkle slivered almonds on top for added crunch and texture.
