Prosciutto-Wrapped, Minted Melon

August 19, 2010

The bright green mint leaf adds an incredible freshness to each bite! While my boys found it interesting that there was a leaf in their food, both left the mint on their plate. Fine. If you’ve got fussy eaters in your house, it’s a good idea to leave some melon plain.
