Three Melon, Bocconcini and Prosciutto Salad
Share Farm Boy Recipe
Updated August 2024
Inspired on the popular appetizer of prosciutto and melon (prosciutto e melone), this gorgeous and flavourful salad comes together very quickly for an amazing summer starter. Vary the types of melon or even add watermelon, based on what’s freshest and available at your local Farm Boy. Feel free to add radicchio or arugula to make it even more colourful. If you have balsamic glaze, it makes a great finishing touch to this salad.
