melon salad

This combination of cantaloupe, fresh herbs, and salty pistachios is light, elegant, and perfect for hot summer days.

Melon and Herb Salad with Pistachios

roasted, salted, shelled pistachios

cantaloupe

lime

extra virgin olive oil, divided

urfa biber chile flakes

Coarsely chop fresh tender herbs until you have 1/3 cup. Refrigerate until ready serve. Coarsely chop 1/4 cup shelled pistachios.

Scoop out the seeds from 1/2 cantaloupe. Position cut-side down on a cutting board. Cut the skin and pith from the melon with a knife: start at the top of the melon and cut down to the edges, rotating the melon until completely peeled.

Cut the melon into thin ribbons: Start by cutting the melon into 2-inch wide strips (if using a vegetable peeler to cut into ribbons, cut the melon to slightly less than the width of the peeler). Using a mandoline or vegetable peeler, very thinly slice the melon lengthwise into ribbons. The ribbons should be thin and pliable. If they aren’t, slice thinner.

Arrange half the ribbons decoratively on a platter. Finely grate the zest from half a medium lime all over the ribbons. Drizzle with by 1 of the tablespoon olive oil. Sprinkle with 1/4 teaspoon of the flaky salt, half of the pistachios, and half the herbs.

Decoratively arrange the remaining melon ribbons on top. Zest the other half of the lime over the ribbons. Cut the lime into wedges and squeeze the juice all over. Drizzle with the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil. Sprinkle with the remaining 1/4 teaspoon flaky salt, 1/4 teaspoon urfa biber, remaining pistachios, and  remaining herbs.

Ready in 10 minutes! With only three ingredients and no-cooking required, this prosciutto wrapped melon is one easy and amazingly delicious summer dish!  You&#039;ll love the flavor combination of sweet, ripe cantaloupe and salty prosciutto ham.

Prosciutto and Melon (Prosciutto e Melone)

Cantaloupe

Prosciutto di Parma, (thinly sliced)

tbsp honey

Basil leaves

Prepare the cantaloupe and cut it into wedges. I find it easier to peel the cantaloupe, once you cut it. So, first, cut the cantaloupe in half. Using a spoon, remove the seeds. Then cut each half into wedges and peel them.   ﻿

Wrap the prosciutto around the cantaloupe wedges and arrange them on a serving platter (left some wedges without prosciutto, since I had more cantaloupe to use up).

Drizzle a little bit of balsamic glaze or quality honey (or both, if you like) ﻿If using, arrange a few basil leaves on the platter. I loved the addition of fresh basil leaves for a pop of color and freshness, but this is totally optional. ﻿

Serve immediately or chill for a few hours until ready to serve.

A cool, refreshing combo for warm summer evenings

Watermelon & feta salad with crispbread

½ a watermelon (about 1.5kg),

block feta cheese

black olives

flat-leaf parsley and mint leaves, roughly chopped

red onion

olive oil and balsamic vinegar,

white bread mix

olive oil

plain flour

sesame seeds

Make up the bread according to pack instructions with 1 tbsp olive oil. Leave to rise in a warm place for about 1 hr until doubled in size. Heat oven to 220C/200C fan/gas 7. Knock the bread back and divide into 6 pieces. On a floured surface, roll the breads out as thinly as possible, then transfer to baking trays. Brush with the egg white and scatter with the mixed seeds. Bake for about 15 mins until crisp and brown; if they puff up, even better. You may need to do this in batches. The breads can be made the previous day and kept in an airtight container.

In a large serving bowl, lightly toss the melon with the feta and olives. Scatter over the herbs and onion rings, then serve with the olive oil and balsamic for drizzling over. Serve the pile of crispbreads on the side for breaking up and using to scoop the salad.
