We love dishes like this: it can be made in advance, it looks great on the table, and it tastes good too! We like to serve ours in smaller bites with sticks so it’s easier to eat in front of the TV.

Traditionally, the dish is made with high-quality, thinly sliced prosciutto di Parma or San Daniele, and ripe, juicy cantaloupe melon.
