The combination of juicy and sweet melons together with the tender and delicate scampi is divine. It makes such a wonderful combination. I also topped it with some mâche salad, salty roughy chopped almonds and thick balsamic vinegar. This salad is really perfect to serve as an appetizer, starter, light lunch or to include in a sharing dinner or buffet. It is both gluten, grain free and low carb.
A few tips:
- Use juicy, fresh and sweet melons. They add both juiciness and sweetness to the dish hence use juicy and sweet ones.
- You can use any melons you like, I chose Galiamelon and cantaloupe since I think they pair so well together and with the prawns.
- I used roasted salted almonds to add a bit of crunchy and salt to the dish to break off the sweetness from the melons.
- I also added thick balsamic vinegar since it pairs so well both with the sweet melons and prawns.
- This salad can be prepared in advance and having the scampi served cold.
