How it fights fat Prosciutto's protein helps build calorie-blasting lean muscle, and the fiber in melon begins to fill you up so you can slow down and savor the next two delicious courses but not overdo it. Now that's a smart start!

Ingredients

Makes 4 servings

Vegetable oil cooking spray
2 slices prosciutto, fat trimmed from edges
1 tablespoon 2 percent plain Greek yogurt
1 tablespoon reduced-fat mayonnaise
2 teaspoons honey
Zest and juice of 1 lemon
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/2 ripe honeydew melon, cut into thin strips (with a peeler) or scooped into balls
1/2 ripe cantaloupe, cut into thin strips (with a peeler) or scooped into balls
1/4 cup fresh basil, torn or thinly sliced
  1. Heat oven to 400°F. Coat a baking sheet with cooking spray. Place prosciutto slices 4 inches apart on baking sheet; cook until crisp, 8 to 10 minutes. Transfer to a plate lined with a paper towel. Whisk yogurt, mayonnaise, honey, zest, juice and pepper in a bowl until smooth. Add honeydew and cantaloupe; toss to combine; divide among 4 bowls. Crumble prosciutto; sprinkle it and basil over salad. Serve immediately.

  • Worth trying, the sweet and salty flavors are my favorites. The basil is a must, adds a lot to the dish. I ended up using veganaise as that was all I had on hand, snd it was fine. Easy and quick to make, I cut everything the way I wanted to.

  • Delicious and refreshing for a summer night's dinner. The tangy dressing reminded me of a sorbet, and the crumbled prosciutto adds a nice crunch.
