This Melon and Prosciutto Salad with Mint is a special salad for the summer season! This salad is paired with a confit Sungold tomato and pickled cherry pepper vinaigrette, all tossed with the melons.
This salad is the perfect balance of sweet, savory, and spicy. Serve it as a side dish, snack, or starter.
For the Confit Sungold Tomato and Cherry Pepper Vinaigrette: I know, the name is a handful! You will need Sungold tomatoes, extra-virgin olive oil, garlic cloves, salt, pepper, and hot pickled cherry peppers.
Cantaloupe melon: The juicy, sweet melon chunks provide a refreshing base for the salad. Its juicy texture perfectly complements the other ingredients. We chop them into bite-sized pieces for easy forkfuls. The melon is then tossed with our dressing!
Prosciutto: This Italian dry-cured ham adds a savory and salty contrast to the sweet melon. Serving it at room temperature keeps it super tender, bringing out all the salty notes of the ham.
Fresh mint leaves: This fresh herb adds a burst of aromatic flavor. Its vibrant green color makes it great as a garnish, too. Want to try other fresh herbs? Use fresh basil leaves instead if you prefer.
