Summer time recipe - Melon and Jamón Serrano Salad

After one week of partying in Marrakesh, my body needs little detox. I promise you I didn't have so much fun since ages, and for one week I didn't even lift a finger to do something more creative or productive than laying down by the pool. I ate so much excellent tagnies, couscouses and anything else what el turista can eat during 8 days stay in that amazing city. My body is just begging for something lighter, so I went to groceries yesterday and bought 25 pounds worth legumes and fruits.

Sweet, sweet melon with salty, smoky ham is a classic, but I went a bit adventurous and thrown some cherries, fresh mint and cubes of feta cheese. I loved the result and I hope you will like it too. Really refreshing, perfect for summer days as a starter or even a  main course.
