Good Morning Friends,
In addition to my love for summer heirloom tomatoes there is another dish that is also one of my go to favs….the classic Italian Prosciutto & melon. I like to mix up what is normally just prosciutto draped over melon slices and turn it into a free form salad. I start with a base of radicchio leaves then shower them with small slices of melon, I prefer cantaloupe, then sprinkle ribbons of prosciutto and shaved Parmigiano on top. To finish just a drizzle of EVO, cracked pepper and some lime wedges. I love the way the bitterness of the radicchio plays off the sweetness of the melon and the creaminess of the Prosciutto.
I urge you to give this a try as a great warm weather summer starter.
BTW…Sorry for the blurry picture as I was anxious to dig in before I checked the quality of the photo!
You’re welcome…
David & Tino
