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
- To make the dressing, whisk all the ingredients together in a bowl and set aside.
- 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.
