Ingredients:
85g prosciutto, torn or crispy bacon pieces
4 cups melon, cubed (you can use a mix of your favourite melon)
1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
1 cup of fresh basil leaves
200g burrata or mozzarella balls, at room temperature
50g of mixed nuts (we like to use pumpkin seeds)
Balsamic Fig Vinaigrette:
54g extra virgin olive oil
3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
Juice of 1 lemon
2 tablespoons honey
2 teaspoons fig jam
Red pepper flakes, salt + pepper to taste
- Preheat the oven to 200 degrees celsius. Line a baking sheet with baking paper and arrange the prosciutto in an even layer. Transfer to the oven and cook for 8 minutes, until the prosciutto is crispy.
- In a serving bowl, arrange the melon, tomatoes, and basil leaves.
- Vinaigrette: Combine all ingredients in a glass jar and shake, or whisk to combine. Season with red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper.
- Drizzle half the vinaigrette over the salad, gently tossing to coat. Add the burrata, nuts/seeds, and then the remaining vinaigrette. Top the salad with crispy prosciutto.
