 Categories: Salad
      Yield: 4 Servings
 
-------------------LIME-HABANERO DRESSING------------------------
    1/4 c  Fresh lime juice (curse of a
           -manual squeezer)
      2 ts Sugar
      1 ts Minced Habanero (rehydrated
           -from dried)
           Salt to taste (we used very
           -little)

---------------------------SALAD--------------------------------
      1    Cucumber; unpeeled, seeded,
           -and diced
      1 c  Diced musk melon
    1/4 c  Shredded coconut; lightly
           -toasted; for garnish
           Chopped fresh mint (we used
           -peppermint from our pot
           -garden); for garnish
   
  Lime-habanero dressing: Mix it all together, and allow to sit at room
  temperature for at least 1 hour.  (Side note:  I drank some of the
  water that the habs were rehydrating in. (Can you say stupid?)
  INSTANT BURN! Yeowch! And then it instantly went away.)
  
  Salad: Combine the stuff. Add dressing. Toss until coated. Sprinkle
  the coconut & mint over the top.  (Side note:  the musk melon was not
  one of those famous US$80 melons that you've all heard about. This
  one was only US$15.)
  
  It was great watching people taste this insidious dish. Cool, sweet,
  soothing, and then BLAM. The reaction is to have some more to cool it
  down.
