Ingredients

6 servings
  • 3 balls fresh burrata cheese
  • 4 cups melon balls (I used watermelon, cantaloupe, and honeydew)
  • 1/2 cup fresh basil leaves
  • 2 tablespoons fresh mint leaves
  • 6 slices prosciutto
  • 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • juice of 1 lemon
  • 1 tablespoon white balsamic vinegar
  • 1 cup fresh basil
  • 1 tablespoon toasted pine nuts
  • 1 pinch flaky sea salt.

Steps

  1. 1. Break the burrata in half and place each half in the bottom of a small bowl or glass (about 8 ounces). Over the burrata, layer the melon balls, basil, and mint. Top with a slice of prosciutto. 2. At this point the salad can be covered and placed in the fridge for up to 6 hours. 3. Before serving, drizzle over the vinaigrette (recipe follows). 4. To make the vinaigrette, combine all ingredients in a blender and blend until smooth.
