Melon & Prosciutto Salad
You can find all the ingredients for this sweet & savory salad at our roadside stands… it’s the perfect addition to any summer barbeque or picnic!
Ingredients:
- 1/2 cantaloupe (cut into cubes or scooped in balls)
- 1/2 lb of fresh arugula (or other salad greens)
- 2-3 oz (or more) prosciutto
- 1 fresh mozzarella ball (cut into small chunks)
- 1 cup balsamic vinegar
- Olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
Directions:
- Make a balsamic reduction by adding balsamic vinegar to a pot and bringing it to a boil on medium-high heat. Then, reduce the heat and simmer for 10-15 minutes or until thickened to liking. Use a metal spoon to check the consistency by dipping in to see how it is coated.
- For the salad, first lay down a bed of arugula (or any lettuce green of your choice). Drizzle with olive oil, salt, and pepper and toss until the greens are thoroughly coated.
- Arrange cantaloupe and mozzarella evenly on top of the arugula.
- Gently tear pieces of prosciutto and fold over salad.
- Drizzle balsamic reduction over the entire salad. (Save some on the side in case anyone wants to add more to their plate!).
- Serve with tongs.
