First off...

This s a blog about cooking and different kinds of cuisines around the world. 
Firstly, I would like to start witha simple recipe.

Minted melon, tomato & prosciutto salad

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Ingredients

  • about 500g different-coloured heirloom tomatoes, chopped into large chunks (smaller ones left whole or halved)
  • 1 Charentais melon, segmented and cut into chunks roughly the same size as the tomatoes
  • 12 slices prosciutto- the best you can afford
  • handful mint, leaves picked, shredded
  • crusty bread, to serve
  • For the dressing
  • 1 ½ tbsp Sherry or red wine vinegar
  • 3 tbsp olive oil 
  • 1 tsp honey  
 
 Method
  1. To make the dressing, whisk all the ingredients together in a bowl and set aside.
  2. Toss the tomatoes and melon together in a bowl with a little dressing, some sea salt and black pepper. Loosely lay the prosciutto over a platter and pile the tomatoes and melon on top. Drizzle with extra dressing, scatter with mint and serve straight away with crusty bread.
