PROSCIUTTO AND MELON (PROSCIUTTO Y MELONI)
Another way-too-simple-to-post recipe, but this is a frequent appetizer in our house and so I'm putting it here so I can add it to menus, shopping lists etc. I know that lots of others tend to make salads of this combination, but I prefer just a wedge of fruit with prosciutto. The combination of sweet and salty is unbeatable!

- You can also add other ingredients to the marinade, such as fresh herbs, citrus zest, or honey.
- Be sure to let the melon marinate for at least 30 minutes before serving so that the flavors have time to meld.
- Serve the melon wrapped in prosciutto with a drizzle of the marinade and some fresh mint or basil.
