This was a delicious dish! Really refreshing and cool on a hot summer night. It reminded me of a dish my dad would make in the summertime - cucumbers, vinegar, sugar and water. I don't think anything else... and that was tasty too.
Try this one - even The Children liked it!
Honeydew Cucumber Salad
Yield: Makes 5 cups; 4 to 5 servings
Ingredients
1/3 cup white wine vinegar
1/4 cup honey
2 teaspoons yellow mustard seeds

1/2 teaspoon salt
2 cups cubed or balled honeydew melon pieces
2 cupa diced peeled cucumber
1 cup halved seedless green grapes
2 tablespoons finely chopped chives

3. Stir in chives. Spoon onto plates to serve.
