MELON WITH PROSCIUTTO

Think of this as more of a nifty reminder than recipe. I’m forever astonished about how delicious this combo is and go out of my way to keep remembering to do it throughout summer. Whichever cunning Italian it was who came up with the idea, I salute you. Refreshing, salty, sweet, snacky perfection. You might even want to roll these up with a blob of fresh cheese as well.
