Ingredients

Salad:

  • winter melon cantaloupe or honeydew, small, halved, aka spanspek
  • 2 mozzarella cheese fresh, 125 gram balls
  • 1 rocket leaves about 3 handfuls
  • 1 watercress about 2 handfuls
  • 120 parma ham or other Italian cured ham, grams not specified

Vinaigrette:

  • 60 ml olive oil
  • 2 Tbsp red wine vinegar
  • 20 ml honey
  • 1 mustard heaped teaspoon
  • salt
  • black pepper

Instructions

  1. Make the dressing by mixing all the ingredients together until emulsified. Either shake in a jar or use a small whisk.
  2. Slice wedges out of half the melon removing the skin. Scoop balls out the second melon and set it aside.
  3. Slice the mozzarella.
  4. 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.
  5.  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
