Jamon Serrano And Cantaloupe Salad
serves 2-4
Recipe from cookthink
On the classic melon and jamòn serrano plate, the ham would be thinly sliced and shaped like cones. Or the melon would be thinly sliced and layered with the ham. We like this hybrid form, because you can easily divide the melon with the bits of ham evenly distributed.
