4-6
ingredients
- 1 melon
- 8 slices parma ham
- 100 g parmesan cheese, shaved using a vegetable peeler (optional)
- 100 g mixed salad greens
-
For the dressing
- 4 tablespoons red wine vinegar or 4 tablespoons white wine vinegar
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 6 tablespoons fresh mint leaves
- 9 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 pinch salt
- 1 pinch pepper
directions
- 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!
