Preparation of Melon and Prosciutto Appetizer in a Boat
Let’s see how to prepare the melon and prosciutto appetizer.
First, wash and clean the zucchinis. Use a peeler to cut the zucchinis into strips.

Halve the melons and remove seeds and filaments. Use the melon baller to extract balls or strips from one half of the melon. Cut the prosciutto into strips.
