Parma Ham, Melon and Mozzarella Salad
with chilli mango dressing

Wine suggestion: White Douro

Serves 4

Ingredients:

2 large ripe mangoes, peeled, halved and pitted
2 tablespoons lime or lemon juice
2 teaspoons fresh red chilli, finely chopped
4 handfuls rocket
4 wedges cantaloupe, Galia or honeydew melon
2 balls mozzarella cheese
Freshly ground black pepper
16 slices Parma Ham

Preparation:
Cut one mango into neat slices to use in the salad. Chop the flesh of the other mango roughly and blend this with the lime or lemon juice, chilli and two tablespoons of cold water, using a hand-held stick blender or regular blender. 

Share the rocket between two serving plates and arrange the sliced mango on top. Remove the skin from the melon, cut the flesh into slices and arrange on the salads. 

Tear or cut the mozzarella cheese into chunks or slices and share between the salads. Season with a little black pepper and arrange the slices of Parma Ham on top. Drizzle with a little mango dressing and serve at once.
