Fresh Melons With Ham And Parmesan Salad Food

MELON AND PARMA HAM SALAD WITH MINT DRESSING

Steps:

• 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.
• 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).
• 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!

FRESH MELONS WITH HAM AND PARMESAN SALAD

Steps:

• While still leaving a rim around melon spoon out bite sized pieces of fruit and put into a large bowl.
• Make a thin slice on the bottom of each melon half to stabilize them.
• This will become your bowl for the salad.
• Add greens, ham, Parmesan Cheese and parsley to melon pieces and mix well.
• Fill each melon half with the mixture and drizzle with dressing.
• Dressing: In a medium bowl add orange juice, extract, vinegar, honey and mustard and mix.
• Slowly drizzle both oils into mixture while whisking constantly.
• Season with salt and pepper.
