Simple Salad, Seriously Scrumptious

I really enjoy a good salad, espe­cially a large din­ner salad. I also enjoy grilling, fruit, bacon and good cheese. Tonight I decided to put them all together in an exper­i­ment of sorts.

Grilling fruit has always pro­duced a great sweet/smoky taste that I love. When we got a can­taloupe from our CSA I decided to try grilling it. But I didn’t want to just grill it, I wanted to add some taste to it. I made a honey but­ter glaze with some fresh chopped mint and soaked the can­taloupe in it.

After grilling the can­taloupe for a few min­utes on each side, I laid it on a bed of arugula, chopped bacon and fresh Gorgonzola. A very dif­fer­ent taste, but it was really, really good. And, it was juicy enough that no dress­ing was needed.
