  • 4 ounces honeydew melon thinly shaved
  • 4 ounces cantaloupe thinly shaved
  • 1 ounce vincotto or aged balsamic vinegar

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees and bake prosciutto on a parchment-lined sheet for about ten minutes, or until sizzling and crisped. Set aside to cool.
  • Boil a saucepanful of water, drop in peas and boil ten seconds. Drain, drop in a bowl of ice water, and drain again. Shake as dry as possible.
