Melon with Crispy Prosciutto Arugula Salad
Servings: 4
Ingredients
- 1 4-oz. package prosciutto (I used the diced prosciutto that comes in a package)
- 10 cup loosely packed baby greens such as arugula
- 1/2 Honeydew or Cantaloup melon peeled, seeded, and coarsely chopped (about 6 cups)
- 1 4-oz. package feta cheese, crumbled
- 1/2 cup pistachios coarsely chopped
Dressing
- 6 tablespoons chopped fresh mint
- 4 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 tablespoons white wine vinegar
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 3/4 teaspoon kosher salt I suggest holding off on salt until you taste dressing
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
Instructions
- Arrange half of prosciutto on a paper towel-lined microwave-safe plate; cover with a paper towel. Microwave at HIGH 2 minutes or until crisp. Repeat procedure with remaining prosciutto. Break prosciutto into large pieces.
- For the Dressing: Whisk together mint and next 5 ingredients.
- Toss greens and chopped melon with vinaigrette, and top with cooked prosciutto, crumbled feta cheese, and chopped pistachios.
Notes
*Wait to add the salt to the dressing - you may not need it with the salty prosciutto and feta.
