The melon + prosciutto combo you’ll love this summer
If we love summer for holidays, sunshine, barbecues and gatherings, it is also our favorite season for fruits and vegetables! And we can’t wait to be able to eat melon again. This fruit-vegetable with juicy and sweet flesh is perfect from starter to dessert. We enjoy it on its own, but this combo with prosciutto, arugula, and mozzarella is simply irresistible! We have a perfect balance between the salty flavor of prosciutto, the bitterness of arugula, the natural sweetness of the melon, the freshness of basil, the intensity of olive oil, and the milky side of mozzarella. Every bite is a pure delight!
Our tip for presenting this incredible salad to your guests is to lay the arugula at the bottom of a large flat plate, then add the melon, the prosciutto, and the mozzarella in a harmonious and random arrangement. Simple but effective. Choose high-quality ingredients for maximum pleasure in tasting: fresh produce bought from the greengrocer, nicely sliced prosciutto, and extra-virgin olive oil. The recipe is simple, but with the right ingredients, it changes everything! Serve well chilled as a starter or as a side to a barbecue—it’s ideal to celebrate the return of sunny days.

The perfect idea for sunny days to showcase melon
The melon + prosciutto combo is really a sure-fire staple in summer! But have you ever tried mixing melon with salmon? This original flavor pairing is delicious, though! If you don’t eat prosciutto, smoked salmon adds the salty touch that perfectly balances the sweet melon flavor. We recommend adding a few touches of verde pesto and some pickled red onions for a plate that will make you blush with pleasure. You won’t forget this combo anytime soon…
