FOR THE SALAD:
1 medium red onion
1 1/2 to 2 pounds small ripe cantaloupes
1 to 2 head Romaine lettuce (hearts), trimmed and cut crosswise into 1/4-inch strips
1/2 cup torn fresh basil leaves, divided
2 tablespoons torn fresh mint leaves, divided

FOR THE VINAIGRETTE:
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons raspberry vinegar
1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt

freshly ground black pepper

TO MAKE THE SALAD: Cut the onion in half through the root end, then cut into 1/2 inch wedges. Cut off the core from each wedge and discard. Separate the onion wedges into individual leaves. Place in a bowl, cover with cold water, and add a handful of ice cubes. Allow to stand for 20 minutes.

Cut the melon in half, scoop out the seeds, and cut into 1 inch wedges. With a small sharp knife, remove the rind from the melon flesh and cut each wedge crosswise into 1/2 inch pieces. Place the melon pieces in a large bowl add the lettuce, along with half of the basil and half of the mint. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until ready to use.

TO MAKE THE VINAIGRETTE: In a food processor combine the remaining basil and mint with the other vinaigrette ingredients. Process until well blended

When ready to serve, drain the onions and pat dry with a paper towel. Add the onions to the cantaloupe mixture. Add the dressing and toss to combine. Season with a grinding of black pepper. Serve chilled.
