Balsamic Melon Prosciutto Salad with Arugula
Easy and fresh Melon Prosciutto Salad. If you follow me on instagram then you know I’m all about easy salads for summer time. The last thing I want to do is hang out in the kitchen when it’s gorgeous outside, so that means everything we eat is either grilled or simple and fresh.
Or peanut butter and jelly if you are little man, since he is the pickiest eater alive.
 We have this amazing downtown indoor/outdoor farmers market about 25 minutes from us in Grand Rapids. If you are local and haven’t been,  you need to check it out! I head there every Thursday and plan our whole weekend menu around what’s fresh and delicious there that week. No plan or menu in mind, just whatever I find that looks good. Which usually means about a pound of amazing types of cheese, fresh baguette, a great piece of fish and some fruit and veggies.
Ok that all sounds a bit too healthy I should mention that every week my little man and I split a banana nutella crepe while we wander around :)
Last week they had the most amazing prosciutto that I picked up so I made this easy Melon Prosciutto salad – it’s so good and crazily simple! Ready for the recipe?
Fresh, easy and perfect for summer!

Salad looks great. I’ll give it a try :-) FYI , I’ve been getting “pop-ups” when scrolling through your blog :-( Home Depot popped up this morning. Have a great weekend :-)
Thanks for the heads up Lisa, my ad networks have been changing some things around (driving me crazy) I’ll try to figure it out!
They say that confession is good for the soul so you should be feeling better about eating your Nutella crepe but I have discovered that if noone sees me eating something — the calories don’t count. (I try not to be by myself too much :-) ) I’l like to shake the hand of whoever thought up Nutella — what a genius. Oh! The salad does look good I can’t wait for all the melons to be in season.
So I’m totally adopting that rule, if no one sees me eat it, it didn’t happen…if you need me I’ll be hiding in the pantry eating cookies :)
