I am not much of a fan of watermelon primarily because of all the seeds although I know you can now buy seedless watermelon. However, this recipe appealed to me. I do like prosciutto with fruit.
Watermelon and Prosciutto With Mint And Toasted Almonds
Watermelon and prosciutto may seem like an unlikely pair, but the salty-sweet mix will make this
your new go-to fruit salad.
2 Tbs coarsely chopped almonds
½ cup coarsely chopped mint leaves
½ tsp finely grated orange zest
2 Tbs fresh orange juice
1 Tbs olive oil
Kosher salt
1 3-pound seedless watermelon, rind removed, cut into 1-inch pieces
2 Tbs white wine vinegar
2 oz thinly sliced prosciutto
1. Heat a small dry skillet and toast almonds, tossing often, until golden brown, about 5 minutes.
2. Mix almonds, mint, orange zest, orange juice, and oil in a small bowl; season with salt.
3. Toss watermelon with vinegar in a large bowl; season generously with salt. Transfer watermelon to a platter and drape prosciutto over top; spoon almond mixture over.
Servings: 4

Oh my gosh, not a watermelon fan? I love the stuff. Though this year near us, the watermelons have been crap.
ReplyDeleteI like it so long as the seeds are gone Ivy.
DeleteUnderstandable.
DeleteI love watermelon - when it's been picked properly ripe which is not always the case. I have fond memories of, as a kid, sitting on the back lawn eating those my father used to grow. They were so sweet.
ReplyDeleteDon't know enough about it Helen to know if it has been picked to early or what.
DeleteI do not like watermelon or prosciutto (too salty for me). I was very surprised to find out that Russians love watermelon. There was a huge display in GUM department store when we were there.
ReplyDeleteI eat a lot of prosciutto Denise. No, one doesn't think of the Russians eating watermelon.
DeleteI like watermelon but I just can't get into watermelon and meat. I like pineapple on my pizza but that's about it:)
ReplyDeleteHave you never tried pineapple with a ham steak Birgit. Delicious.
DeleteOh yes! I have! It is good.
DeleteI'm not a fan of watermelon, but if I saw this on a buffet, or at an event, I would definitely try it :)
ReplyDeleteMe too Mark.
DeleteSeedless isn't technically without seeds...there are plenty of soft white ones. I love the stuff! My uncle used to sprinkle salt on his. Ick.
ReplyDeleteSame as seedless grapes JoJo, but you can eat it without problems.
DeleteI love watermelon and always buy the seedless. Though spitting seeds was fun as a kid!
