Cantaloupe and Tomatoes

I had never heard of eating cantaloupe and tomatoes together until coming to teach at my current job. A wonderful woman named Marlene put together the brunches during inservice week each year, and the staff couldn't wait until the day she served biscuits and gravy, and cantaloupe and tomatoes. Both were at their summer's best during the second week of August, and the teachers loved it.

So I tried it. And yes - the two are delicious together. Especially when both are sprinkled with salt. Maybe it's a southern thing.
