Cantaloupe Salad with Crispy Prosciutto - cjs - 07-18-2007 Had this for a starter last nite with the Shrimp & Scallop Pizza - this is wonderful for a summer salad and especially tasty followed by the pizza. This is from Lorraine and her LCBO magazines - thanks Lolly!! Cantaloupe Salad with Crispy Prosciutto 1 medium cantaloupe -- peeled, seeded, and cut into sticks. 1/2 a large English cucumber -- peeled, seeded, and cut into sticks 3 Tbsp port 1 Tbsp olive oil 1 1/2 tsp very finely grated fresh ginger Coarse salt 8 pieces prosciutto (I used 4, broke up one per salad) Preheat oven to 400F (200C) Place the melon and cucumber sticks in a bowl and add the port, olive oil, ginger, and salt. Toss to mix, and leave to marinate 1 hour. Meanwhile, cook proscuitto slices in oven for 10 minutes, turning once until crisp. Let cool. Toss the melon and cucumber just before serving, and using a slotted spoon, divide the mixture between 4 plates. Top each with 2 slices of crispy prosciutto. Description: "Here's one from the LCBO Most can be done ahead of time." (Lorraine's) NOTES : This was a really nice 1st course. They suggested serving it with Delaforce Rich Tawny Port, which we did. I'll do this again. Re: Cantaloupe Salad with Crispy Prosciutto - Old Bay - 07-18-2007 That is very interesting.

Re: Cantaloupe Salad with Crispy Prosciutto - cjs - 08-03-2007 I didn't notice - I'll have to go look. Re: Cantaloupe Salad with Crispy Prosciutto - vannin - 08-03-2007 I would have to replace the cucs with raw zucchine, so as not to alter the look of that lovely dish. My word, it does look good. Re: Cantaloupe Salad with Crispy Prosciutto - pjcooks - 08-03-2007 Doesn't it just, though, Dale, the more I look at it, the more I want to make it. I can almost taste it, can't you? Guess I'm gonna have to give in... PJ
