Lime -Mint Watermelon and Cantalope Salad

http://www.epicurious.com/recipes/food/views/Watermelon-and-Cantaloupe-Wedges-with-Lime-Mint-Syrup-238869#ixzz0xp5IhDu4

Start this recipe at least 1 1/2 hours ahead so the components have time to cool and the flavors and able to meld. Mix up the syrup and chill it until it's cold. Cut the melons into wedges. Chop the mint and stir it into the syrup, then drizzle the syrup over the fruit and refrigerate them in plastic containers. DO NOT use a metal bowl.  This is because your fruit would end up having a metal taste.  Instead, use separate plastic containers or a porcelain bowl big enough to fit the salad.  I made the lime-mint sauce the first thing in the morning....our picnic wasn't until late afternoon, so the flavors melded nicely.  Tasted like a margarita!!!
