Thinly sliced cantaloupe is drizzled with a light vinaigrette and Parmesan cheese in this delightful appetizer.<\/p>\n
Ingredients
\n 1\/2 medium-large cantaloupe
\n 2 tablespoons shallots, peeled and minced
\n 1\/2 lemon, juice and zest
\n 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
\n 3 tablespoons olive oil
\n 1 tablespoon honey
\n Pinch of salt and black pepper
\n 2 ounces Parmesan cheese<\/p>\n
Preparation
\n 1. Remove the rind and seeds from the cantaloupe. Cut into 3 or 4 wedges, and then, using a sharp knife or vegetable peeler, cut each wedge into long, thin slices. Lay the slices out on a large plate or platter or divide evenly between small salad plates.
\n 2. In a small bowl, whisk together the shallots, lemon juice and zest, balsamic vinegar, olive oil, honey, salt, and pepper. Drizzle the dressing over the sliced cantaloupe. Using a vegetable peeler, shave Parmesan cheese into thin curls or slices. Top the dressed cantaloupe with the shaved Parmesan cheese and serve immediately.<\/p>\n
Serving Suggestion
\nAccompany melon carpaccio with bowls of chilled gazpacho for a special warm weather lunch. Or add thinly-sliced prosciutto or Serrano ham for an authentically Mediterranean appetizer.<\/p>\n
