Ingredients
  

Salad
  • 1 French Charentas melon or half a cantelope melon
  • 3 slices prociutto
  • A handful of fresh basil
  • 1 demi baguette
  • 1/4 cup crushed pistachios
  • 1 cup or portion of fresh mozzarella or burrata
Dressing
  • 1/3 cup olive oil
  • 1 tbsp honey
  • Juice of one lime
  • 2 pinches of salt 
  • Pinch of black pepper

Method
 

  1. Heat oven to 375
  2. Slice melon and baguette into irregular 1" chunks. Dress baguette with olive oil and salt, bake for 10-15 minutes until browned and crispy. At the same time, place the slices of prosciutto onto a baking tray lined with parchment and place in oven until crispy. About 10 minutes Let cool
  3. Make the dressing by combining all ingredients and shaking or whisking until emulsified
  4. Slice the melon into irregular shapes and place into a large serving bowl. Add croutons, torn fresh basil, prosciutto, mozzarella, and top with the dressing. Mix well. I like to use my hands. Serve slightly warm or at room temp.
