The classic Italian combination exists for a reason: the saltiness and fatty smooth texture of prosciutto (or jamon, speck, or other thinly cut cured ham) and the watery sweet melon temper each other perfectly. Serve melon slices draped in ham, or wrap melon cubes with small strips of meat and secure with a toothpick for an easy appetizer.

Noticing a theme? The sweetness and juiciness of melons makes them go great with salty, spicy things. Watermelon and feta is a classic combination, but experiment with your favorite melon and un-aged, salted cheese.
