Summer Melon Salad With Ham And Mint Vinaigrette
- 2 tablespoons sherry vinegar
- 1 tablespoon minced shallot (from 1 shallot)
- 1/2 tablespoon honey
- 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh mint, divided
- 1 small cantaloupe (about 3 lb.), halved lengthwise
- 1 small honeydew melon (about 3 lb.), halved lengthwise
- 2 ounces thinly sliced salt-cured ham (such as prosciutto or speck)
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- Whisk together vinegar, shallot, honey, and salt in a small bowl. Add oil in a slow, steady stream, whisking until incorporated. Stir in 1 tablespoon chopped mint. Set aside.
- Remove and discard seeds from 1 half of each melon; cut each into 2-inch-wide radial spokes, about 6 slices each. Reserve remaining melon halves for another use.
- Using a sharp knife, follow the natural curve of the melon to remove the rind. Cut slices in half.
- Arrange melon pieces and ham slices on a platter. Drizzle vinaigrette over top; sprinkle with black pepper and remaining 1 tablespoon mint.
