Prosciutto, Melon & Arugula Salad
An old-school classic Italian dish can be served as a meal, canape or snack. The simplicity of this dish, as with all traditional Italian, demands using the best local melons and fresh arugula and getting freshly sliced prosciutto from your local deli.
The melons this season have been fabulous! I am fortunate to live close by Winslow Farm in Falmouth, Maine ~ their melons and arugula are exceptional, along with every other piece of produce I have had the pleasure of working with and eating this season.
If you haven’t visited Winslow, I highly recommend stopping by and sampling the produce grown by this family-run team of wonderful humans and hard-working farmers.
