Summer’s not over yet! Enjoy the best of summer with a huge hunk of watermelon. I can find many reference to August 3 being Watermelon Day, but no origin behind the holiday. I usually discount these types of holidays but who can resist a watermelon? Celebrate with this lovely recipe for Melon with Prosciutto Ham and Grilled Chicken from the Watermelon Promotion Board.

INGREDIENTS:
3 tablespoons fresh-squeezed orange juice
1 tablespoon raspberry vinegar
1/4 cup olive oil
1 tablespoon fresh chopped mint leaves
Mix all ingredients and let chill for at least one hour.

For individual salad:
4 thin slices cantaloupe, rind removed
4 thin slices honeydew melon, rind removed
4 thin slices watermelon, rind and seeds removed
3 thin slices prosciutto ham
1 grilled chicken breast*, cut into thin slices
Salad greens in bite-size pieces

For grilled chicken breast:
1 tablespoon honey
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon lemon juice

DIRECTIONS:
Grill chicken breast. While grilling, baste chicken with mixture of honey, oil and lemon juice.

Combine mustard, sugar, vinegar, salt and pepper in a stainless steel bowl. Place bowl over a pot of boiling water and blend ingredients until sugar dissolves. Slowly whisk in oil. Dressing should be warm. Add watermelon, cucumber and onion to dressing and toss gently.

Arrange greens, melons, ham and chicken on a large salad plate and drizzle with vinaigrette
