Ingredients
- 1 small cantaloupe scooped with melon baller or cut into medium-sized chunks
- 7 oz prosciutto (200g)
- 2 zucchini , thinly sliced lengthways
- 2 tbsp pine nuts
- 1 small handful basil , finely chopped
- 1 small handful mint , finely chopped
- 1-2 tbsp olive oil
For the vinaigrette
- 3 tsp red wine vinegar
- 1 tsp honey
- 1 queeze lemon
- 4 tbsp olive oil
- salt to season
- black pepper to season
Instructions
- Heat a griddle pan on a medium to high heat. Drizzle the sliced zucchini with 1-2 tbsp of olive oil, sprinkle with salt and pepper then grill for 1-2 minutes on each side until cooked through and nice and charred. Set aside on a plate lined with kitchen paper.
- In a small dry pan toast the pine nuts for around 30 seconds until browned and set aside. To make the dressing put all the ingredients in a bowl with a little salt and pepper and whisk until combined. Taste and add more honey if desired and set aside.
- On serving plates place a few slices of zucchini followed by strips of prosciutto and melon. Sprinkle over some toasted pine nuts and fresh chopped basil and mint. Drizzle with the dressing and add a sprinkle of pepper then serve.
Notes
- You can prep the zucchini in advance by grilling it and storing it in the fridge until you are ready to eat.
- You can also prep the vinaigrette so when you are ready to serve all you need to do is assemble the salad.
- Try and cut the zucchini (courgettes) thinly around 1/4 inch or 1/2 cm so they cook quicker.
- You can use an indoor griddle pan or grill them outside on the BBQ to grill the zucchini.
- You can also roast the zucchini in the oven for around 8-10 minutes until soft.
- There's no need to salt the zucchini before making this salad.
- You don't need to use a melon baller to cut the melon you can just cut it into small chunks.
