The Best Melon Salad Recipe
Summer! It’s here! School is out and it is finally warm out. And that means all the wonderful fruits and veggies are back and filling up all of our refrigerators. I am in a cantaloupe phase… not sure why…. but I just keep picking the best ones and have slowly become addicted (I suppose there are worse things) so naturally, I decided to create a new recipe around my obsession. This Fresh Melon Mint Caprese Salad + Pomegranate is a modified classic caprese salad (which would normally have tomatoes, mozzarella and basil). Instead of the tomatoes – cantaloupe and instead of the basil – mint. This fun spin is amazing and wonderful and I hope you guys give it a try!

- prosciutto slices – pairs so well with the fresh, sweet cantaloupe.

- fresh mozzarella – you can’t say caprese without some fresh mozzarella in the mix.
- pomegranate seeds – a great addition for some added flavor and pop of color.
How To Make A Melon Mint Caprese Salad
The first steps to making this easy recipe are to use a melon baller or small cookie scoop to scoop out some small balls of cantaloupe from each half. Place these melon balls in a large bowl and toss in the mint, mozzarella, and pomegranate seeds. Mix to combine and return to the cantaloupe halves for serving with prosciutto as the garnish on top!
