Summer Melon and Ham Salad with Burrata and Chile
Bookmark this page

Ingredients
1 teaspoon crushed red pepper (such as Aleppo)
2 tablespoons white balsamic vinegar
½ teaspoon minced shallots
½ teaspoon honey
A pinch of kosher salt
2 tablespoons canola oil or other neutral oil
1 small melon
1 small melon in honey sauce
2 ounces low-sodium country ham, cut into thin slices
4 oz burrata or fresh mozzarella cheese
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
To make
I like the combination of musky fruit with salty-sweet ham and creamy burrata cheese (you can replace it with fresh mozzarella). It has a lot of bright flavors, and cheese sets the tone for the whole dish.
Place the crushed red pepper flakes in a small, dry skillet over medium-high heat. Cook for 90 seconds, stirring frequently. Remove the pan from the heat; allow to cool.Combine the vinegar, shallots, honey, and salt in a small bowl, stirring with a whisk. Slowly add the butter, stirring constantly with a whisk.Cut each melon lengthwise in half; remove the seeds, and cut the melons into quarters. Using a vegetable peeler, cut 1 quarter of each melon into strips to make about 1 1/4 cups of melon and 1 1/4 cups of honey agarics. Leave the remaining melon for another use. Place the melon strips and ham slices on a platter so that they overlap each other. Spread the burrata evenly over the top; sprinkle with toasted red and ground black pepper. Drizzle the vinegar mixture on top.
