Pickled Rockmelon & Prosciutto Salad
There are so many variations on this classic combination of rockmelon and prosciutto, and this one (I may be biased) is up there with the yummiest. Rockmelon is such a delicate flavour and is only elevated with the citrus pickle. Each key element brings a unique flavour and combines to make a beautifully light, yet complex tasting salad.

You can substitute with another bitter lettuce like endive, or even rocket is a nice option.
