It’s that time of year where simple, easy-to-eat food is sometimes the best choice. These melon bites are refreshing and flavorful, not too complicated—perfect for a warm summer evening. More than a “recipe,” this is really a suggestion, you can change it up by adding different types of cheese, maybe drizzle a little balsamic reduction over them—go crazy, it’s summer after all.
