Prosciutto with Fresh Fruit

Prosciutto with Fresh Fruit

Salty prosciutto paired with sweet melon is a refreshing appetizer. Serve the melon sliced in wedges or cut into small pieces with toothpicks for a bite-size starter. From the book "Lucinda's Rustic Italian Kitchen," by Lucinda Scala Quinn (Wiley).
