Ingredients

  • 1/2 cantaloupe
  • olive oil
  • vinegar white balsamic, white, apple cider
  • salt
  • 1 ball burrata
  • 5 slices prosciutto
  • fresh basil

Instructions

  1. Start by crisping up the prosciutto. Place the prosciutto on a lightly greased baking sheet and transfer to the oven (or an air fryer) at 400F for 8-12 minutes, until the prosciutto is crispy. Set aside to cool completely.
  2. Cut the rind off the cantaloupe then slice the cantaloupe into thin slices. Layer the slices onto a large plate then top with a dash of olive oil, vinegar, and salt.
  3. Use your hands to tear the burrata into smaller pieces over the top of the cantaloupe. Use your hands to break the crispy prosciutto into smaller pieces all over the cantaloupe.
  4. Slice a few fresh basil leaves into thin strips and scatter over the cantaloupe. Enjoy immediately or refrigerate until ready to enjoy!
