In this easily-thrown-together dish, melon and prosciutto need nothing more than salt and pepper to enhance their natural flavors.

Ingredients

  • 6 melon wedges (about 2 inches thick), such as honeydew, cantaloupe, or Charentais

  • 12 thin slices prosciutto di Parma

  • Coarse sea salt (preferably fleur de sel) and freshly ground pepper

Directions

  1. Arrange melon on a serving platter or plates. Drape 2 slices of prosciutto over each wedge. Place small mounds of salt and pepper on platter for sprinkling.
