Amount Ingredient
FOR DRESSING ----------------
1/2 tbl fresh lime juice
1/2 tsp smoked paprika (sweet or hot)
1/4 tsp salt
1/8 tsp freshly-ground black pepper
5 tbl mild extra-virgin olive oil
----------------- FOR SALAD ----------------
2 cup cantaloupe flesh in 1" pieces
2 cup honeydew flesh in 1" pieces
2 lrg bunche arugula - (3/4 lb) coarse stems
discarded
4 oz thinly-sliced serrano ham cut crosswise
Instructions:
Instructions: To make dressing: Whisk together lime juice, paprika, salt, and pepper in a small bowl and add oil in a slow stream, whisking until well blended.

To make salad: Toss cantaloupe and honeydew with half of dressing in a bowl. Decoratively arrange the arugula on a platter and then add the melon. Season with salt and pepper, to taste an drizzle with remaining dressing. Serve immediately.

This recipe yields 4 appetizer servings.

Comments: It is important that the ham not be sliced as thinly as prosciutto usually is. Slightly thicker ham is easier to cut into strips and will stay separated in a salad instead of clumping together.
