Ingredients

4 cups Florida watermelon, peeled and diced medium

2 cups Florida cucumber, diced medium

2 cups Florida cherry tomatoes, cut in halves

½ red onion, diced small

½ cup fresh basil, chopped

2 cups fresh mozzarella pearls, or diced small

1 tablespoon quality olive oil

1 tablespoon all-purpose seasoning (such as Florida Everglades)

⅓ pound thinly sliced prosciutto ham (crispy, cooked bacon will work)

1 teaspoon vegetable oil, for cooking

Sea salt and fresh ground pepper, to taste

Preparation

Preheat a medium-sized sauté pan over medium heat and add a small amount of oil. Cut the thin sliced prosciutto ham into bite-sized strips. Add the prosciutto to the preheated pan while separating the pieces. The ham is already cooked, so it just needs to crisp up in the pan for about 2 or 3 minutes. When all the prosciutto ham is crisp, remove and let drain onto paper towels.

In a large mixing bowl, combine watermelon, cucumber, cherry tomato, red onion, basil, mozzarella, olive oil and seasoning. Lightly stir to combine. Taste and adjust seasoning with sea salt and fresh ground pepper. Add the salad to a serving bowl and arrange the crispy prosciutto ham on top. Garnish with extra basil and serve cool.
