Sweet melon wrapped with prosciutto and finished with lime, cracked pepper, and mint.

Ingredients

  • 1 small cantaloupe or honeydew
  • 4 ounces thin prosciutto
  • Fresh mint leaves
  • 1 lime, cut into wedges
  • Black pepper
  • Olive oil

Method

  1. Cut melon into bite-size wedges or cubes.
  2. Tuck a mint leaf against each melon piece.
  3. Wrap with a narrow strip of prosciutto.
  4. Arrange on a platter.
  5. Finish with lime juice, black pepper, and a tiny drizzle of olive oil.

Fresh Mint Tip

Put mint between the melon and prosciutto so it perfumes both sweet fruit and salty ham.
