Health Benefits of Cantaloupe 

Cantaloupe is not only tasty but good for you too! To begin, it’s a bit lower in sugar than many fruits and full of important nutrients. It’s got lots of potassium which can help to lower blood pressure as well as fiber which can lower the bad type of cholesterol. Not to mention, that it’s loaded with antioxidants and vitamin C.

How To Make Prosciutto Wrapped Cantaloupe Skewers

This no-cook recipe is beyond easy! You don’t need any cooking equipment at all or fancy ingredients. You just need a cantaloup and a package of prosciutto.  

 

Then once you have the ingredients, cut the cantaloupe into bite-size chunks. Try your best to make them all about the same size for presentation purposes.

Next, slice the prosciutto into pieces that are just big enough to wrap around the cantaloupe. Keep in mind that the idea is to fully cover the cantaloupe.

Finally, wrap all the chunks of cantaloupe with the slices of prosciutto and secure them with a toothpick. You can even get fancy toothpicks if you prefer for a party.

How to Cut a Cantaloupe

You will need to cut some cantaloupe for this recipe and it’s pretty simple. But I want to share my step-by-step process on how to cut melon into perfect bite-size pieces. All you have to do:

1. Cut the cantaloupe in half.
2. Use a spoon to scoop out the seeds from a cantaloupe.
3. Cut each half into slices lengthwise.
4. Slice off the peel from each slice of cantaloupe.
5. Cut each peeled cantaloupe slice into chunks.

Make Ahead

You can make this prosciutto wrapped cantaloupe skewers appetizer a few hours before serving if you like. It can also be made the night before, but it’s better to only prep it a few hours before serving for the best results.
