Melon And Parma Ham Salad With Mint Dressing

• 1 melon
• 8 slices parma ham
• 100 g parmesan cheese, shaved using a vegetable peeler (optional)
• 100 g mixed salad greens
• For the dressing
• 4 tablespoons red wine vinegar or 4 tablespoons white wine vinegar
• 1 tablespoon sugar
• 6 tablespoons fresh mint leaves
• 9 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 pinch salt
• 1 pinch pepper

1. Pulse the dressing in a blender adding the mint leaves last, leaving them only half blended into the dressing. Put in the fridge until ready to use.
2. Assemble the salad any way you like (see above) grilling the parma ham until crisp for a change or if you like it like this (it does add another dimension done like this, but I do like it raw too).
3. Pour a little of the dressing over the salad and serve with extra dressing on the side for those who want more. Some nice crusty bread wouldn't go amiss either!
