Cantaloupe Prosciutto and Mozzarella Salad

Sometimes things surprise you, I present Cantaloupe, Prosciutto, and Mozzarella Salad!

The flavors in this simple and delicious salad surprised me when I first made it many years ago.  This salad is a family favorite and well, an added bonus is that it is HEALTHY too.  Shush, don’t tell!  I make this simple salad all year round but it is best when the fruit is in season.  I also substitute a gluten-free ham lunchmeat for the prosciutto.  This recipe is a winner for a hot evening when you don’t want to turn on the stove!

This recipe is gluten-free, sugar-free, grain-free, nut-free, and keto.
