Instructions
- Make the dressing by mixing all the ingredients together until emulsified. Either shake in a jar or use a small whisk.
- Slice wedges out of half the melon removing the skin. Scoop balls out the second melon and set it aside.
- Slice the mozzarella.
- When you are ready to serve, assemble the salad by scattering the rocket and watercress across the bottom of a large serving dish. Place the melon slices and balls across the surface. Arrange the slices of mozzarella between the melon. Tuck the thin slices of ham in between.
- Drizzle the dressing over the salad and serve immediately.
Notes
- You can use burrata instead of mozzarella for a creamier taste and texture.
- This salad is best assembled just before serving as the rocket (arugula) will wilt
