Next, prepare dressing by adding lime juice, maple syrup, and pinch salt to a small mixing bowl and whisking to combine. Then slowly stream in 1 Tbsp olive oil while whisking to combine. Set aside.
Add cantaloupe to a large serving bowl and top with dressing. Gently toss to combine. Then add the cucumber-tomato-onion salad on top, leaving any excess liquid/dressing behind. Gently toss to combine and garnish with fresh mint. Serve.
