Ingredients

4 slices cantaloupe melon

4 slices of raw prosciutto

2 teaspoons onion jam

1 tablespoon chopped pistachios

rocket to taste

extra virgin olive oil to taste

croutons to taste

Steps

Slice the cantaloupe melon, remove the seeds and peel it. Wrap a slice of raw prosciutto around each slice of peeled melon. Distribute a little fresh rocket in a serving dish (I put the rocket only in half the plate). Place the melon slices wrapped in prosciutto on the rocket. Add two teaspoons of onion jam and some croutons to taste. Decorate everything with chopped pistachios and finish with a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil to taste. Bring to the table the prosciutto and melon appetizer and serve immediately.
