Salad with melon and cottage cheese, arugula, raspberries, and cucumbers is a fresh, slightly sweet and sour dish perfect for a quick lunch or a summer dinner. The salad with melon and cottage cheese is light, tasty, and flavorful, quick to prepare, and can be personalized as desired. If you like stronger flavors, you might replace the cottage cheese with feta, you can add cherry tomatoes or, for a non-vegetarian version, prosciutto or bresaola.
