Instructions

Step 1

Slice the cantaloupe in half and remove the seeds. Scoop out as many balls as you can from both halves of the cantaloupe using a melon baller. Alternatively, cut the cantaloupe into 1 inch or so pieces. Add the melon balls to the serving dish.

Step 2

Tear the burrata into pieces and scatter on top and to the sides of the cantaloupe. Tear the prosciutto into pieces and scatter on top of the cantaloupe and burrata. Sprinkle with the pistachios and fresh herbs.

Step 3

Evenly drizzle the salad with the dressing and serve.
