Stacy Ling
The combination of sweet melon, salty prosciutto, and creamy burrata is a flavor sensation. My recipe for this easy summer salad, featuring homegrown arugula, is a must-try.

Instructions
 

  • Gently wash and thoroughly dry your beautiful arugula. Place it in a large salad bowl.
  • Add the sweet cantaloupe and refreshing honeydew melon to the bowl. The contrasting textures and flavors of the two melons really elevate the dish.
  • Arrange the salty prosciutto over the melon and arugula. You can either drape the slices artfully or tear them into smaller, more manageable pieces.
  • Carefully place the whole ball(s) in the center of the salad for a dramatic presentation, or tear it into creamy chunks and distribute them throughout.
  • Drizzle everything with a good quality extra virgin olive oil and then a touch of sweet and tangy balsamic glaze (or your own reduced balsamic vinegar).
  • Season with freshly ground black pepper to enhance the flavors. Remember, the prosciutto is already salty, so you likely won't need additional salt.
  • For an extra layer of freshness and aroma, sprinkle with torn fresh mint or basil leaves, if you have them on hand.

  • Serve immediately and enjoy the delightful combination of flavors and textures! A gentle toss right before serving will help distribute the dressing slightly.
