Melon Balls with Salami and Celery
From Dorothy Mcnett's recipes at www.dorothymcnett.com. This is a wonderful appetizer served with a chilled crispy sav blanc or a great white wine blend. Very refreshing after a hard days work!
fresh melon of the season
Italian salami, chopped very fine
fresh mozzarella, sliced thin
celery sticks
baby spinach leaves
aged balsamic
Using a melon scooper or a teaspoon, cut the melon into balls. Or simply cut with a knife into squares, making bite-sized pieces. Sprinkle liberally with the diced salami. Place on a slice of mozzarella. Slice the celery into "toothpick" sized pieces and insert into the cheese and the melon. Arrange on a platter covered with baby spinach leaves. Drizzle with just a few drops of aged balsamic.
