Melon and Prosciutto

Cantaloupe is the classic choice, but any ripe melon, including honeydew, can be used in this recipe.

Instructions

  1. Trim the rind from the melon, cut the melon in half, and scoop out the seeds with a spoon; discard the seeds. Cut each half into eight 1/2-inch-wide crescents.
  2. If the prosciutto slices are long (over 6 inches in length), wrap one piece of prosciutto around the middle of each melon slice. If the prosciutto slices are short (under 6 inches in length), wrap two around the middle of each melon slice. Serve immediately.
