Ingredients
- 1 medium cantaloupe
- 6 cups mixed salad greens
- 6 slices prosciutto
- 1 cup goat cheese
- 1 cup walnuts
- 0.25 cup fresh mint leaves
- 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 1 teaspoon honey

Instructions
Cut the cantaloupe in half, remove the seeds, and scoop out bite-sized melon balls using a melon baller. Alternatively, cut the cantaloupe into small cubes.
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lime juice, honey, salt, and black pepper to create the dressing.
Toast the walnuts in a dry skillet over medium heat for 3-4 minutes until golden and fragrant. Let them cool slightly before use.

Drizzle the lime dressing over the salad and gently toss to combine.
