"'Prosciutto e melone’, slices of sweet cantaloupe wrapped in a salty, Parma ham mantle, are never far from a summery antipasti platter. Here, I’ve swapped the cantaloupe for in-season honeydew melon, and added creamy ricotta—it’s the perfect thrown-together salad for a hot summer’s day. If you can find salted ricotta, shave this into the salad instead!"
