Cantaloupe Summer Salad

We are coming towards the end of July and the weather has just completely gone crazy here in the Netherlands.  Raining one day, Sunshine and hot the next, does not look like it wants to settle down to just Summer.  Today, was a rainy day, a bit hot and humid, so salad was the wise choice to go with.

This is a favorite of mine, such a light and tasty salad for summer eatings.  The baked Prosciutto that I have added along with the Cantaloupe are so refreshing. As a topping for the salad I chose Almonds, Parmesan cheese and a lovely Balsamic dressing. I hope you enjoy it!!   🙂
