Method

Cut the melon into 1-inch-thick slices. Cut around the line between the white and red part of the melon and discard all but the red. Remove all the seeds and cut the melon into cubes.

Cut the onions crosswise into ⅛-inch-thick slices.

Mix the raspberry puree, olive oil, and salt and pepper. Put the melon and onions in a bowl and pour the raspberry sauce over them. Mix thoroughly
