Someone once said, "No matter our age, everyone in our household knows that cooking and eating together is where the fun is!" Some of our most fun and fondest family memories have been made in our kitchen. Kids...this is for you (and because Nicki has scattered my recipes all over the house) So sit back and let your mouth water and share some memories with Mom!

Melon Salad with Prosciutto
We made this on Father's Day - it was fantastic!!!!
2 C sliced seeded watermelon
2 C sliced seeded honeydew melon
1/3 C very thinly vertically sliced red onion
2 ripe nectarines, pitted and sliced
1/4 tsp kosher salt
3 T lemon juice
2 T olive oil
1 1/2 T honey
4 C Arugula or Baby Spinach
1/4 C torn fresh mint leaves (optional)
3 oz. prosciutto, very thinly sliced and pulled into pieces
1/2 ounce Romano cheese, shaved.
Combine first 5 ingredients.
Sprinkle with salt.
Combine juice, oil, and honey, stirring well.
Drizzle dressing mixture over fruit mixture; toss gently.
Arrange Arugula or Spinach on a platter - or you can do individual plates.
Top with fruit mixture, then Prosciutto, then cheese.
*You can add one VERY small minced serrano pepper to the fruit mixture, but it makes it VERY hot.
