How to make it
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
- Cover a baking sheet with parchment paper and bake the prosciutto until crisp, about 10 to 12 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool. [Note: You can also use Serrano ham – drop small slices of the ham into hot oil and deep fry for about a minute just until the ham begins to look like bacon.]
- Combine the roughly chopped ingredients (cantaloupe, honeydew, sweet onion, celery, red bell pepper, and cucumber), lemon juice, lime juice, and bread in blender. Purée on high until smooth.
- Combine the finely chopped ingredients, jalapenos, garlic, chives, parsley, mint, cilantro, and olive oil in a large bowl. Stir well to combine.
- Fold the puréed ingredients into the chopped ingredients.
- Add the salt and pepper and stir well to combine.
- Let rest at least 1 hour, covered and refrigerated, for the flavors to blend.
- Serve chilled, garnished with crumbled crispy prosciutto.
