Prosciutto Wrapped Melon Skewers are a sophisticated, no-cook appetizer perfect for summer parties or elegant gatherings. Combining sweet, juicy melon with salty, thinly sliced prosciutto, these skewers offer a delightful flavor contrast and stunning presentation, making them an ideal choice for impressing guests with minimal effort.

  • Total Time: 15 minutes
  • Yield: 8-10 skewers

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ripe cantaloupe or honeydew melon, cut into bite-sized cubes
  • 8 oz (225 g) thin slices of prosciutto
  • Fresh mint leaves (optional, for garnish)
  • Wooden skewers or cocktail sticks
  • Honey or balsamic glaze (optional, for extra flavor)

Instructions

  1. Start by slicing the melon into uniform cubes, using a melon baller or sharp knife for even pieces. Lay out the prosciutto slices flat on a cutting board.
  2. Wrap each melon cube with a slice of prosciutto, folding prosciutto into quarters if desired for a more elegant look. Skewer the prosciutto-wrapped melon onto a wooden stick, alternating with other pieces for color and presentation. Repeat for all ingredients.
  3. If desired, garnish each skewer with a fresh mint leaf. Drizzle with honey or balsamic glaze to add sweetness and sophistication. Serve immediately to enjoy the fresh, crisp flavors.

Notes

  • Use super thin prosciutto slices for easy wrapping and a refined appearance.
  • Choose ripe, sweet melons for maximum flavor.
  • Add herbs like mint or basil for an extra layer of freshness.
  • Best enjoyed immediately, but can be refrigerated for up to 2 hours in an airtight container.
