I used the mint only as a garnish and secured the proscuitto with a tootpick. Also, used a combination of cateloupe and honeydew melon balls. Loved the sweet/salty combination.

I made this for Christmas Day and everyone raved about it. I don't have a melon baller so I just cut chunks of Honeydew Melon and Rockmelon. I placed a piece of fresh mint on each chunk of melon and wrapped in the prosciutto. As it's summer time in Australia at Christmas it was a perfect refreshing appetizer!

As I was just making this for my lunch today, I didn't bother at all with fancy presentation; I just sliced up the melon, roughly diced the prosciutto, and tossed them together with a light sprinkle of 'Lemon-Mint Vinegar.' It was so delicious! Thanks so much!
