This cooling, hydrating salad is a celebration of simple summer ingredients. With sweet honeydew melon, crisp cucumber, and mildly bitter frisée, it strikes a beautiful balance of flavors and textures. Frisée—a lacy, lightly bitter green in the chicory family—stimulates digestive secretions and supports liver function, making it especially helpful before meals. Tossed in a lemony vinaigrette, this salad is the perfect way to awaken the palate. Serve it alongside grilled fish for an elegant and refreshing warm-weather meal.
