3) Prosciutto-Wrapped Melon

Two ingredients. No sauce. No mess. The salty prosciutto does all the work against the sweet cantaloupe, and nothing about this needs explaining when you set it on the table.

Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 1 small cantaloupe cut into 1-inch wedges (about 24 pieces)
  • 8 ounces thin-sliced prosciutto about 12 slices, cut in half lengthwise
  • 12 toothpicks

Method
 

  1. Slice the cantaloupe in half and scoop out the seeds. Cut into wedges, then trim off the rind.
  2. Cut each prosciutto slice in half lengthwise so you get long strips.
  3. Wrap one strip around each melon wedge. Don't overthink it.
  4. Secure with a toothpick and place in a single layer in a container.
  5. Chill until ready to leave, then transport in a cooler if it's hot outside.
