Prosciutto & Melon with Campari Syrup

This is an ideal choice for a refreshing summer picnic or a great addition to a poolside or outdoor activity. It can be offered as an appetizer before or during a barbecue event and paired with a crisp white wine like Pinot Grigio or a sparkling Prosecco. Garnish it with fresh mint leaves for added freshness and aroma. The dish combines the sweetness of melon, the saltiness of prosciutto, and the bittersweet depth of Campari syrup for a harmonious and refreshing flavor experience, making it an excellent choice for warm-weather gatherings.
