I just love a salad in the summer... not just any salad though! One loaded with fresh, ripe produce! I especially love salads made with watermelon, peaches, strawberries, and blueberries. I found a recipe several months back and quickly copied it down. I cannot remember the source, but I am sure there are tons of recipes out there like this one. Make this as a side the next time you grill out. I did, and my husband and guests loved it!
1 cantaloupe, chopped
- 1 cup bite-size fresh mozzarella balls (use however many you want!)
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 1/4 teaspoon red-pepper flakes
- Pink Himalayan sea salt and ground pepper
- Thinly sliced prosciutto (Again, use as much as you want)
- 1/4 cup fresh basil leaves, torn
- Cut the cantaloupe into bite-size pieces and arrange on plate. Add mozzarella balls, then drizzle with oil. Sprinkle with red-pepper flakes and salt & pepper. Arrange prosciutto along edges of a plate. Add basil to melon mixture, then serve.
