Method

Preparation of Prosciutto

  1. 1

    Slice the Prosciutto

    Using a sharp knife, carefully slice the prosciutto crudo into thin, delicate pieces. Aim for slices that are about 1-2 mm thick to showcase the texture and flavor.

Preparing the Accompaniments

  1. 2

    Prepare the Melon

    Cut the melon in half, remove the seeds, and slice it into wedges or cubes for easy serving. The sweetness of the melon complements the saltiness of the prosciutto perfectly.

  2. 3

    Prepare the Greens

    Rinse the arugula or mixed greens under cold water and pat dry with a paper towel. You can also place them in a salad spinner for quick drying.

Plating

  1. 4

    Arrange the Ingredients

    On a large serving platter, arrange the slices of prosciutto crudo, placing them artfully alongside the melon wedges and a bed of arugula or mixed greens.

  2. 5

    Drizzle and Season

    Drizzle the balsamic glaze over the arranged prosciutto and melon. Finish with a sprinkle of freshly ground black pepper to enhance the flavors.
