Sweet, juicy and ice-cold, melon is one of the best parts of summer, and it’s just as good in savory dishes as sweet ones. Start with the classic Italian appetizer, Prosciutto Wrapped Melon, or try my updated Prosciutto e Melone made with piel de sapo instead of cantaloupe. For a quick summer salad, pair pan-grilled Grilled Halloumi Cheese with Hami Melon, salty and sweet all at once. Melon makes a bright salsa too, piled onto crispy Shredded Chicken Tacos. And for dessert, there’s a creamy, no-cook Canary Melon Sherbet.
