Steps:
- Place the melons on a flat surface and split each one in half. Scoop out and discard the seeds. Use the larger-size scoop on a melon baller to scoop out the flesh. The goal is to tightly pack about 6 generous cups of melon flesh and then hollow the four melon halves out for presentation. Scrape the halves with a spoon to smooth the insides and gather additional flesh (and trap any juices) in a separate bowl until you have 1 heaping cup. Save the melon halves. Refrigerate the melon balls.
- Place the melon scraps and juices in a blender and add 3 tablespoons of the olive oil, the lime zest and juice and honey. Puree until smooth and taste for seasoning. Add more honey, if needed. Add a splash of water if more liquid is needed to make a smooth puree. Refrigerate.
- In a medium bowl, toss the cucumbers with the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil and a generous amount of black pepper. Toss the melon balls with the dressing. Sprinkle the cucumbers and mint over the melon and mix a little. Fill the melon halves.

MELON, CUCUMBER AND CHERRY TOMATO SALAD
This is an extremely simple, yet spectacularly refreshing salad, especially when made from height-of-the-season summer produce. Ripe melon mirrors the tomatoes' sweetness. Cucumber, a relative of melon, gives both crunch and flavor. A handful of basil and mint leaves, and a squeeze of fresh lime juice added just before serving, bring it all together.

- Preheat oven to 350°F. Toast pistachios on a rimmed baking sheet, tossing once, until golden brown, 7-9 minutes. Let cool, then finely chop 2 Tbsp. pistachios. Leave remaining nuts whole; set aside.
- Whisk chopped pistachios, chile, vinegar, and honey in a small bowl. Gradually stream in oil, whisking constantly until emulsified; generously season dressing with salt and pepper.
- Using a mandoline, shave cucumber and honeydew lengthwise (or thinly slice with a knife). Place in a large bowl. Set blade to a slightly wider setting; shave cheese into planks.

MELON, CUCUMBER AND TOMATO SALAD
Melon and cucumber are a marvelous combination, never more so than when ripe tomatoes provide a bridge between the two. Parsley, mint and the refreshing bite of Champagne vinegar take the flavors even higher, making this salad both a perfect lunch or a fine start to a summer dinner.
