MELON SALAD W/FRESH MOZZARELLA, PROSCIUTTO AND LIME VINAIGRETTE



Melon Salad W/Fresh Mozzarella, Prosciutto and Lime Vinaigrette image

This is an interesting combination of flavors--not your usual fruit salad. I was sceptical at first, but I have always had great success with recipes I found in Cusine at Home, so I went for it. It was very good--refreshing and unusual. The basil and mint flavors as well as the prosciutto are all very subtle.

Provided by Good Food team

Categories     Dinner, Lunch, Starter

Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 6

4slices prosciutto
100g peas , fresh or frozen
1ball buffalo mozzarella , torn into large pieces
½ juice orange
1 tbsp olive oil
small handful mint , leaves finely chopped, plus extra small leaves to serve

Steps:

  • Heat a frying pan. Without adding any oil, fry the prosciutto slices until wrinkled and crisp. Place on a sheet of kitchen roll, leave to cool, break into large shards, then set aside.
  • Boil the peas in a pan of salted water for 2 mins until just tender. Meanwhile, mix all the vinaigrette ingredients together, season, then set aside. If making ahead, do not add the chopped mint until ready to serve, as it will discolour. When the peas are cooked, drain, then run them under cold water until completely cool. Pat dry with kitchen paper.
  • To serve, divide the mozzarella between 2 plates, scatter the peas over and sit the prosciutto shards on top. Drizzle the dressing over and around, and scatter with the mint leaves.
