Easy
Total time:
The easiest summer starter or main course for four. Melon has a lovely depth of flavour in season. Make sure you serve it at room temperature – if it’s been in the fridge you won’t get the full effect. The mint dressing goes well with the sweet fruit and salty ham.

Method
step 1
Cut the melon into wedges, scoop out any seeds and then slice off the skin. Lay the melon slices out on a platter. Tear the mozzarella into pieces and dot these over the melon. Whisk the dressing ingredients and drizzle over the dish. Serve with Parma ham and grissini for a main course or on its own as a starter.
