Insalata di Melone


A refreshing summer fruit salad consisting of sweet juicy melon, ripe strawberries, plump blueberries, mellow mango, colorful kiwi and crisp pears. I added nothing to enhance the flavors since it is the season of fresh fruit.

Chef Chuck's Prosciutto and Melon

Prosciutto e Melone

A refreshing summer snack, proscuitto and melon, is light, and so enjoyable. The mild saltiness of the proscuitto blends well with the sweetness of the melon. Served with fresh mint is a nice compliment.

Proscuitto and Melon
1 ripe melon, honeydew or cantaloupe
1/4 pound thinly slice proscuitto


Select a ripe melon and cut in half, remove seeds and slice 1 inch slices. Square off chunks and wrap with a 1/3 of a slice of proscuitto. Continue wrapping till all melon is ready for serving!
