Ingredients:
1 cantaloupe or 1 muskmelon
1 (3 1/2 ounce) package lemon gelatin
2 cups water, boiling
6 ounces cream cheese, softened
milk
mixed salad green
Directions:
1. Peel whole melon; cut a slice from one end and scoop out seeds and membranes.
2. Turn upside down and drain.
3. Dissolve gelatin in boiling water and cool; pour into melon and refrigerate until gelatin is firm.
4. Mix softened cream cheese with just sufficient milk to make spreading consistency; frost the entire outside of melon.
5. Serve in slices on salad greens dressed with Hawaii French Dressing or the dressing of your choice.
