Notes

Ingredients:
  • Cantaloupe: Make sure you get a good ripe cantaloupe. Find tips in the blog post above.
  • Prosciutto: Prosciutto is Italian dry-cured ham. It gets cut into thin slices and tastes rather salty. You will want to get a good quality melt-in-mouth Italian prosciutto for this recipe. Make sure you get the Italian version and not the Spanish. They are both amazing but have different flavors.
 
Toppings / Garnish:
  • Herbs: Add some basil or mint leaves for some extra flavor if you want.
  • Balsamic: Drizzle balsamic vinegar or even better balsamic glaze over the melon
  • Honey: Drizzle some delicious quality honey over the dish. You should try flavored honey
