In the heart of the wonderful summer heat and humidity, you are going to love this easy salad. It is sort of like a fruit and cheese tray, mixed up in salad form and let’s be honest, who wouldn’t love that.
I am not even a huge cantaloupe fan but all the flavors in this salad were so wonderful together.
Plus: you just cut the cantaloupe,
tear the prosciutto and mozzarella, then sprinkle the oil, vinegar, salt and pepper and the basil. It is really that simple.
Next time, I think I might go ahead and cut up the cantaloupe, so it is bite sized too.
