As we say in France, a great meal doesn't need to be complicated, and this dish is a perfect example. If your family enjoys cantaloupe, serve it with basil as a refreshing first course before the main dish. It also makes a delightful dessert when paired with basil or mint. If you’re growing your own herbs, add the flowers too — it’s a simple yet beautiful way to elevate a dish.
