Simple Summer Appetizer: Melon and Proscuitto

August 25, 2011

Melon wrapped in proscuitto is a simple appetizer that is perfect for outdoor eating.  The slightly sweet melon pairs perfectly with the salty and meaty proscuitto.  You might think it is a weird combination but this is actually a classic antipasto dish in Italy.  It only requires two ingredients: Melon and proscuitto.  Proscuitto is a salt cured ham from Italy.  You can usually find it in your local market but if not, try an Italian or gourmet foods store.  I recommend using canteloupe or honeydew melon.  This no-bake, no fuss appetizer should be at your next party.
