Melon Salad with Prosciutto and Goats Cheese

[heart_this] · Aug 29, 2007 · 10 Comments

Melon Salad with Prosciutto and Goats Cheese

I picked up a cantaloupe at the farmers market on the weekend. I was enjoying it with some blueberries and I wondered if there were any other interesting ways of eating cantaloupe. I looked around the web and found several melon salad recipes that sounded tasty. A few of them caught my attention because they contained prosciutto. How can you go wrong with a salad that contains melon, prosciutto, goats cheese and toasted pine nuts? It seems that I have been eating a lot of salads lately. Salads really do seem to hit the spot on warm summer days.

    Everything about this sounds just fantastic! I agree, the idea of adding goat cheese was a great one.

    This looks so good. I love fruit in salads. And goat cheese is such a nice addition.

    I love fruits in salads, strawberries with red onions in a salad is just one example. I often make a salad like yours except I use a honeydew melon. It gives extra crunch with a slight sweetness.

    I agree with katiez – the addition of goat cheese sounds like it could improve this already wonderful combination.
