Cantaloupe Salad with Prosciutto

I had some left over cantaloupe that I wanted to use before it went bad, ditto for some fresh mozzarella, and prosciutto. I started thinking that cantaloupe and prosciutto taste great together, prosciutto and mozzarella taste great together, what tie these three together, basil. Let me tell you, this was light, refreshing and would be great for a brunch menu, plus it only took 3 minutes to put together. Give a whole new meaning to fast food. My only wish is that I keep getting these inspirations when looking in my fridge.

My 6 1/2

This is the ultimate sandwich. I have been craving this for so long, but never seem to have fresh mozzarella around the house. This simple sandwich is definitely one that you will crave and enjoy serving to others. Fresh mozzarella, sliced tomatoes, prosciutto, and basil drizzled with olive oil, balsamic vinegar, and Italian herbs, served on a baguette. You can add pesto or roasted red bell peppers, but in my opinion the simpler the better for this one. This is another Morucci's inspired sandwich, once again, i you find yourself in the Bay Area, take the trip to Walnut Creek and enjoy a great lunch.

I am trying to work on my pictures of food, but I now realize why professionals use fake food to get great pictures.
