Melon in Prosciutto

Melons appear in shop shelves everywhere in August. This dish makes the most of the taste of fresh Cantaloupe or Honey Dew melon. While the dish is simple it makes a great starter or serve it as a buffet dish or part of a picnic. Small portions of melon and Prosciutto make a fabulous and light canapé.

Wine Recommendation: A light sparkling wine such as a Prosecco from the San Guiseppe Estate would complement this dish. See The Mixed Case for details.
