This elegant honeydew, cantaloupe and prosciutto salad is a refreshing take on the classic Mediterranean pairing. By utilising two varieties of melon, the dish offers a beautiful contrast in colour and a balanced sweetness that works perfectly with the salty, crisp ham. The addition of a light, citrus-infused dressing provides a creamy texture without the need for heavy fats, keeping the salad feeling bright and modern.
Ideal as a sophisticated starter for a summer dinner party or a light weekend lunch, this dairy-free recipe is remarkably quick to assemble. The fresh basil adds an aromatic finish, while the oven-baked prosciutto provides a satisfying crunch. Serve it immediately after tossing to ensure the fruit remains chilled and the ham stays perfectly crisp.
