Directions

Use a melon baller to scoop balls from the Waterloupe™ Melons halves and add to a large bowl. Add the mozzarella balls and the torn prosciutto. Sprinkle with the basil and mint leaves.
In a small bowl, whisk the olive oil, honey and white balsamic vinegar together and season with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper. Drizzle over the melon and toss to coat. Season with more salt and pepper and additional herbs to taste.

Recipe Note

If preparing ahead of time, add herbs just before service to remain fresh, not wilted.
