Summer Melon + Ham Salad
INGREDIENTS
3 medium ripe melons, such as honeydew, cantaloupe and watermelon (see Tip) 4 ounces feta cheese 4 ounces Pecorino Romano cheese 4 ounces thinly sliced prosciutto 2 limes, cut into wedges
Fresh mint and basil leaves Flaky salt, such as Maldon
Method
Cut melons into 1-inch thick slices or wedges. Cut feta into bite-size pieces. Thinly slice Pecorino. Arrange the melon, feta, Pecorino, prosciutto, lime wedges, mint leaves and basil leaves on a platter. Sprinkle with salt.
Tips
To select the best melon, choose one that is heavy for its size in comparison to others--lift a few to test this out (this is key for watermelons especially). For most heirloom melons, they should be slightly soft at the stem end (where the melon was picked) and should have a lovely fragrant smell with hints of sweetness.
