Directions:
Using a small melon baller, use all of the melons and place balls into a bowl. Reserve all melon juice and place in an additional bowl. Set juice aside.

Add the mozzarella balls to the melon balls.

Remove excessive fat from proscuitto and slice into a chiffonade, along with the basil. Bunch the proscuitto into a rolled stack and slice into very thin "ribbons." Do the same with the basil. Stack leaves on top of each other, roll up and slice into ribbons.

Add the proscuitto and basil to the melon and mozzarella balls just prior to serving.

Mix well.

To the reserved juice, add a small amount of EVOO and salt and pepper to taste. If desired a dash of lemon juice may also be added.
