Cantaloupe, Prosciutto, and Arugula Salad image

This salad should be attempted only when melons are in season -- it's a great addition to an alfresco dinner in the heat of summer. Don't skimp out on the prosciutto -- it's what makes this dish.

Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 12

1/4 cup champagne vinegar or white-wine vinegar
1 tablespoon minced shallot
1/2 teaspoon minced garlic
1/2 teaspoon dijon mustard
1/2 teaspoon salt, plus more to taste
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, plus more to taste
1/2 cup vegetable oil or vegetable-olive oil blend
1 tablespoon minced mixed fresh herbs (such as basil, chives, and parsley)
8 ounces fresh arugula, rinsed and spun dry
1/2 cup thinly sliced red onion
1 cantaloupe, halved, seeded, peeled, and cut into thin wedges
6 to 8 thin slices prosciutto, torn into bite-size pieces

Steps:

  • In a mixing bowl, combine vinegar, shallot, garlic, mustard, salt, and pepper and whisk to combine. While continuously whisking, add the oil in a slow, steady stream until completely incorporated. Whisk in the herbs, and set aside while you prepare the salad.
  • In a large bowl, combine the arugula and red onion. Drizzle in 1/4 cup of the vinaigrette and toss to combine. Add more vinaigrette to taste, if desired, and season lightly with salt and pepper. Toss gently to combine.
  • Arrange the cantaloupe wedges on a large serving plate, top with the arugula salad and the prosciutto. Serve immediately.

I'm not a big fan of arugula, so I used spinach instead. The salad was still delicious.

The cantaloupe in this salad is so juicy and sweet. It pairs perfectly with the salty prosciutto and peppery arugula.
