Melon and Prosciutto

One of my favorite lunches in Italy. Whether you slice the cantaloupe or use a melon baller; the sweet fruit and salty prosciutto is absolutely wonderful. Top with fresh basil and it’s incredible on a hot summer day!

Ingredients

Cantaloupe as far as I can carb count goes like about this:

  • 10-20 grams = 1 CHO
  • 20-30 grams = 2 CHO
  • 30-40 grams = 3 CHO
  • You get the picture.

Instructions

  1. Either wrap the melon slice with prosciutto or if using a melon baller for smaller bites, use little wooden serving picks and thread with melon ball and prosciutto. Basil leaves add color, whether left whole or shredded, and they taste delicious.
