Time 10m

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 Cantaloupe
4 to 5 ounces Prosciutto di Parma, (thinly sliced )
2 tbsp honey or balsamic glaze, (more to your liking (I used this Greek honey))
Basil leaves for garnish, (optional )

Steps:

  • Prepare the cantaloupe and cut it into wedges. I find it easier to peel the cantaloupe, once you cut it. So, first, cut the cantaloupe in half. Using a spoon, remove the seeds. Then cut each half into wedges and peel them. 
  • Wrap the prosciutto around the cantaloupe wedges and arrange them on a serving platter (left some wedges without prosciutto, since I had more cantaloupe to use up).
  • Drizzle a little bit of balsamic glaze or quality honey (or both, if you like) If using, arrange a few basil leaves on the platter. I loved the addition of fresh basil leaves for a pop of color and freshness, but this is totally optional. 
  • Serve immediately or chill for a few hours until ready to serve.
