Melon Salad W Fresh Mozzarella Prosciutto And Lime Vinaigrette

---

This is an interesting combination of flavors--not your usual fruit salad. i was sceptical at first, but i have always had great success with recipes i found in cusine at home, so i went for it. it was very good--refreshing and unusual. the basil and mint flavors as well as the prosciutto are all very subtle.
