Preparation:

1. Combine cucumber, tomato, and onion in small mixing bowl and top with olive oil, apple cider vinegar, salt, and pepper. Toss ingredients together.

2. In another small bowl, add lime juice, maple syrup, olive oil and sea salt, and whisk to create a dressing. 

3. Put cantaloupe into a large serving bowl and top with the dressing. 

4. Gently toss to combine ingredients.

5. Then add the cucumber-tomato- onion mixture on top, leaving any excess liquid behind.
