Instructions
- 1
Remove the seeds from the cantaloupe half and cut in half. Remove the rind in a very thin layer with a paring knife. It is fine to have some green left. Cut the cantaloupe flesh crosswise using a mandoline to make ribbons.
- 2
Combine the lime juice and honey in a small bowl. Brush onto the cantaloupe ribbons.

Arrange the ribbons on a platter, looping around to look like noodles. Top with tarragon and sprinkle with pepper and salt. Drizzle with olive oil. Serve with lime wedges.
