The Galia melon has a delicious, complex sweet flavor – a bit of a cross between cantaloupe and honeydew. It is about the size of a cantaloupe. Its skin resembles a cantatoupe skin, and its flesh is light-green and smooth-textured. Substitute Galia Melons for cantaloupes or honeydews in recipes. Slice or cube them, and serve as a refreshing chilled snack. They make an excellent chilled soup or dessert sauce. Add them to fruit salads. Wrap them with proscuitto and mint. They also are a wonderfully flavorful ingredient for punches, smoothies and margaritas.
