Fresh Prosciutto Melon Salad with Mint Basil Vinaigrette and Le Grand Fizz Cocktail
This isn’t your average salad! Say goodbye to lettuce, and hello to savory cured meat, sweet melon, creamy mozzarella, and spicy arugula. To top it off, we have a super simple tangy mint basil vinaigrette that just screams “spring”. Make the dressing in advance and then pull together this salad for a quick lunch, your picnic in a portable container, or light dinner whenever the mood strikes! Paired with Le Grand Fizz, a cocktail that will forever change the way you enjoy a spritz with GREY GOOSE®, lime, and ST-GERMAIN® Elderflower Liqueur for the ultimate serve.
