Are there other types of fruits that could go well with tomatoes in a salad?

Cucumbers are melons. But that has me questioning if melons are fruit and I don't want to google it, I just want to be angry.

Ackchually, cucumbers are berries. Cucumber and melons belong to the same family, they are kind of siblings.

When they say a girl has nice melons, they don't mean her boobs are shaped like cucumber, that's for damn sure.

It means that both women and men can have nice melon(s)

On a related note: Cucumbers in fruit salad are great for moderating sweetness (or the bitterness of grapefruits). Other veg I like to put in fruit salad include lightly sweet veg like carrot and sweet potato.
