Crispy prosciutto and melon salad: a sweet and salty delight, ideal as a flavorful side dish for any protein!
Ingredients:
  • 3 thin slices prosciutto
  • 2 limes, rind finely grated, juiced
  • 60ml olive oil
  • 40.00 ml finely chopped shallot
  • 28.60 gm honey
  • 20g baby rocket leaves
  • 300g peeled, seeded ripe rockmelon, cut into 1.5cm-thick wedges, chilled
  • 300g peeled, seeded ripe honeydew melon, cut into 1.5cm-thick wedges, chilled
  • 300g peeled, seeded ripe watermelon, cut into 1.5cm-thick wedges, chilled
  • 10g mint leaves

Instructions:
  • Preheat the oven to 200°C (180°C fan-forced). Lay out the prosciutto slices on a baking tray and bake for 5 minutes until crispy. Place them on a paper towel-lined plate to cool.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 tablespoon of lime zest, 1/3 cup (80ml) of lime juice, along with oil, shallot, and honey. Don't forget to season with a pinch of salt for the perfect balance of flavors.
  • On a large flat platter, layer rocket, rockmelon, honeydew melon, and watermelon. Drizzle with the dressing, then top with mint and basil leaves. Break prosciutto into large pieces and scatter over the salad.
