Ingredients

1 cantaloupe, not too ripe, cut in half crosswise, seeds and rind removed

1 honeydew melon, not too ripe, cut in half crosswise, seeds and rind removed

1 Crenshaw melon, not too ripe, cut in half crosswise, seeds and rind removed

3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper

1/2 cup mint leaves, coarsely chopped

1/4 pound bresaola, sliced paper thin

Preparation

Using a sharp vegetable peeler, shave along cut edge of each melon half to make long, thin, flat strips. Carefully lift melon strips into a large bowl.

Sprinkle lemon juice, salt, pepper, and half the mint over melon; toss gently.

Divide melon among serving plates and arrange bresaola slices over each. Sprinkle with remaining mint and serve.
