Wash the arugula thoroughly and dry it well (using a salad spinner or a towel).
3 oz. arugula
Cut the Parma ham into strips.
3 oz. Parma ham
Peel the melon, remove the seeds, and slice into thin wedges.
1 galia melon
Mix the balsamic glaze and olive oil with a fork or small whisk to make a dressing. Add salt and pepper.
1 tablespoon balsamic glaze, 4 tablespoons olive oil, salt and pepper
Divide the arugula over the plates or small glasses.
Add the melon slices and crispy Parma ham on top.
Drizzle with the dressing.

1. What’s the best melon to use? A ripe Galia melon is excellent because it’s sweet and juicy. Cantaloupe or honeydew also works well.

2. Storage

This salad tastes best when freshly made.

Want to prepare ahead?
- Store the rocket, Parma ham, and melon in separate containers in the fridge.
- Add the dressing and flowers just before serving. That way, everything stays fresh and crunchy.
