Servings: 6-8
Ingredients
- 1 small seedless watermelon, between 3-4 pounds
- 1 pound cantaloupe (about 1/2 medium-sized melon)
- 1/4 cup loosely packed fresh mint leaves, minced
- 6 ounces feta cheese, crumbled or cut in 1/2-inch cubes
- 6-8 ounces prosciutto or ham, thinly sliced
- 1/4 cup red wine vinegar
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and ground black pepper, to taste
Preparation
- Cut each of the melons in half. Scoop the seeds out of the cantaloupe. Using a sharp knife, trim the rind off the melons and cut the flesh into 1-inch cubes.
