I’ve never heard of musk melon, but it looks similar to a cantaloupe, I bet even I could make this dish! Love the dressing – it sounds delicious!

Kate – there are many varieties of melons and becomes difficult to choose which is best..Few melons have high GI index as well…think this is also called as Cantaloupe in few places…tried with new home made dressing and it made the fruit bowl more healthy
