Cantaloupe Prosciutto Mozzarella Salad

Print this page

Ingredients

  • 1 ripe cantaloupe (or melon of your choice)

  • 4–6 oz prosciutto (thinly sliced)

  • 2 fresh mozzarella balls (preferably mozzarella di bufala), cut into cubes

  • A handful of fresh parsley (or arugula, as an alternative)

  • Extra virgin olive oil, for drizzling

  • Sea salt, to taste

How to Prepare

  1. Cut the cantaloupe in half, remove seeds, and slice away the rind.

  2. Cube the melon into bite-sized pieces and arrange on a serving platter.

  3. Tear or gently fold slices of prosciutto and scatter them over the melon.

  4. Slice the mozzarella into smaller cubes and place evenly across the platter.

  5. Drizzle generously with extra virgin olive oil.

  6. Lightly sprinkle with sea salt (prosciutto already brings saltiness, so go sparingly).

  7. Finish with fresh parsley (or arugula) for a peppery, herbaceous touch.

  8. Serve with tongs or forks so guests can grab a “perfect bite” of melon, prosciutto, and mozzarella together.
