I enjoyed this refreshing summer salad as a light dinner one evening, so I put together just enough for one person. It would make a great dish to take to a potluck or to serve with dinner when you are grilling. It can be made to serve 1 or 50, with ingredient adjustments to fit your menu.

Sometimes we take a wedge of peeled melon and wrap a slice of prosciutto around it and eat it just like that! Magical combination, as is your wonderful salad, Wendy!
