Fig and Cantaloupe Salad with Mozzarella and Prosciutto

A scattering of sweet melon and plump figs creates a beautiful backdrop for savory Italian flavors — crispy prosciutto and fresh mozzarella (you can use buffalo mozzarella, bocconcini or burrata). Serve this salad as a first course or a light meal with grilled country-style bread, or as party fare alongside other Italian appetizers.
