Description
This dish is light and refreshing, perfect for a summertime meal. The sweetness of the melon is balanced by the saltiness of the prosciutto, and the balsamic vinegar adds a lovely depth of flavour.
Potential changes & improvements
You could try using different types of melon, or even fruit such as pineapple or mango. For a more substantial dish, you could add some mozzarella or feta cheese.
What other food it works well with
This dish would be lovely served with a simple green salad and some crusty bread.
Common Mistakes
