Cantaloupe & Prosciutto Salsa Cruda
- 1 whole Medium Cantaloupe
- 1 whole Large Shallot
- 4 slices Prosciutto (a Little Thicker Than Paper-thin)
- 1 bunch Italian Parsley (a Handful)
- 2 Tablespoons Balsamic Vinegar
- 2 Tablespoons Honey
- 1 teaspoon Kosher Salt
- 1 teaspoon Ground White Pepper
- Cut the cantaloupe in half and seed it.
- Note: if you dont want to use the rind as a bowl, skip the next three steps.
- Use an ice cream scoop to remove all but about 1/4 of the flesh from one half of the melon, as shown.
- Set the flesh aside.
- If the hollow rind wont sit upright on its own, cut a small sliver off of the bottom center to make a flat spot.
- Put the rind bowl in a large zip-top bag and freeze it.
- Cut all of the melon to a medium dice and put it in a large mixing bowl.
- Chop the prosciutto to approximately 1/4.
- Mince the shallot and chop the parsley (mediumyou need about 1/3 cup).
- Add the prosciutto, shallot, parsley, salt and pepper to the mixing bowl.
- Whisk the vinegar and honey together in a small bowl, then add it to the melon.
- Mix the salsa well, cover and refrigerate at least two hours, stirring occasionally.
- Serve and enjoy!
