Tips:

  • Choose ripe cantaloupe: Look for melons that are heavy for their size, have a deep orange color, and give a slightly sweet smell.
  • Use high-quality salami: Opt for a dry-cured salami with a good flavor. Some recommended types include prosciutto, soppressata, and genoa salami.
  • Slice the cantaloupe and salami thinly: This will help the flavors meld together and make the salad easier to eat.
  • Don't skimp on the dressing: The dressing is what brings all the flavors together, so make sure to use a good quality olive oil and vinegar. You can also add some herbs, spices, or citrus zest to taste.
  • Serve immediately: This salad is best enjoyed fresh. If you need to make it ahead of time, store the cantaloupe and salami separately and assemble the salad just before serving.
