Melon, Melon, Cantaloupe ( Cantaloupe, Arugula, and Feta Salad)

Every morning in the summer my sister and I would wake up, walk onto the deck, and my mother would bring us "melon, melon cantaloupe" for breakfast. She believed that cantaloupe - her favorite melon - was the best way to start your day on the right foot. To this day when we are home for the summer my mother brings breaks out the cantaloupe. So this is a riff on my mother's go to fruit.
