Charentais has orange flesh, but you can use any orange- or green-fleshed melon for this salsa--just not watermelon, because its flesh is too fragile and watery. This salsa is great with grilled chicken or pork.

Ingredients

 2 cups diced orange-fleshed melon, such as Charentais (1/4- to 1/2-in. cubes)
 1 cup diced cucumber (1/4- to 1/2-in. cubes)
 1/2 cup finely chopped red onion
 1 serrano chile, stemmed, halved, and sliced
 1/2 cup roughly chopped cilantro
 3 tablespoons lime juice
 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
 1 teaspoon kosher salt
