Fruit and Prosciutto image

This classic no-cook appetizer is a simple yet elegant summer offering that can be varied using whichever fruits are ripe and tempting at the market. When preparing the melon, use a wooden spoon to remove the seeds; it is much gentler on the tender flesh than metal.

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 cantaloupe
1 mango
2 peaches
Coarse salt, to taste
8 slices prosciutto
4 sprigs cilantro
1 lime, cut into quarters

Steps:

  • Using a large chef's knife, cut the melon in half. With a wooden spoon, remove the melon seeds from each half and discard. Cut each melon half into eight equal pieces. With a paring knife, remove the rind from each slice. Set aside.
  • Hold the mango upright on a cutting surface. Using a chef's knife, cut away the flesh on both sides of the pit. Carefully peel each mango half. Cut each half widthwise into eight equal pieces. Set aside.
  • Using a cool, damp cloth, gently wipe the fuzz away from each peach. With a paring knife, cut each peach in half lengthwise, and remove the pit. Cut each peach half into four equal slices. Set aside.
  • Divide the fruits equally among four plates. Season with salt. Top each plate with two pieces of prosciutto, covering the fruit. Garnish with a sprig of cilantro and a wedge of lime. Serve immediately.

I'm not a big fan of prosciutto, but I loved this dish! The fruit and balsamic glaze were so good that I didn't even notice the prosciutto.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover fruit. I had some grapes and melon that were about to go bad, and this dish was the perfect way to use them up.

I followed the recipe exactly and it turned out great! The only thing I would change is to use a sweeter fruit, like strawberries or peaches.
