Sometimes things surprise you, I present Cantaloupe, Prosciutto, and Mozzarella Salad!
The flavors in this simple and delicious salad surprised me when I first made it many years ago. This salad is a family favorite and well, an added bonus is that it is HEALTHY too. Shush, don’t tell! I make this simple salad all year round but it is best when the fruit is in season. I also substitute a gluten-free ham lunchmeat for the prosciutto. This recipe is a winner for a hot evening when you don’t want to turn on the stove!
This recipe is gluten-free, sugar-free, grain-free, nut-free, and keto.

Awesome recipe Janelle! You are right that this is an unusual combination, but I bet it is fantastic. I’m imagining the spicy red pepper flakes and the sweet fruit, and the salty cheese are a perfect combination.
