Ingredients

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line a small baking sheet with parchment paper and lay the prosciutto slices flat. Bake for 8–10 minutes, or until crisp. Let cool, then break into bite-sized pieces.
  • While the prosciutto bakes, use a melon baller (or small spoon) to scoop the cantaloupe and honeydew into balls. Place them in a large salad bowl along with the halved cherry tomatoes, mozzarella or burrata, basil, and mint.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together the white balsamic vinegar, olive oil, honey, sea salt, and black pepper until well combined.
  • Right before serving, drizzle the dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine. Sprinkle with crispy prosciutto and optional toasted pistachios or pine nuts. Serve immediately.
