The Vivienne's Melon -Cucumber French Salad is the result of a French restaurateurs gift to Vivienne. During lunch at a bistro in Monoao she got a call from the royal family for a unique salad they could serve at a royal function. Vivienne spent the rest of the day in the restaurateurs kitchen to create this healthy and exciting salad.

She created this salad for the royal family in remembrance of those that came before us.
Fresh orange and/or grapefruit juice brings just the right touch of natural sweetness to this refreshing melon salad.
If you don’t have a spiralizer, thinly slice the cucumber instead.
