Sweet and refreshing summer salad that is perfect for barbecues!

This salad combines sweet pieces of mango and melon with soft lamb's lettuce, fresh basil, and mild mozzarella. Chopped pistachios add flavor and crunch.

The recipe makes 4 servings. 
 

Ingredients: 

♥ 100 g lamb's lettuce
♥ 1 cantaloupe melon
♥ 1 honeydew melon (or Piel de Sapo)
♥ 3 mangoes 
♥ 2 mozzarella
♥ fresh basil
♥ 50 g pistachios, unsalted
♥ 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
♥ ground salt and pepper

Method: 

Get the ingredients ready.
 

Rinse the lettuce leaves and spread them over a serving dish.

Clean the melon and mango and cut them into pieces to place on the salad.

Dice the mozzarella and distribute over the salad.

Tear some basil leaves and add them. Coarsely chop the pistachios and sprinkle them over the salad.

Drizzle good olive oil over the salad and grind some salt and pepper on top. 

Tips: 

♥ I used Cantaloupe melon (which is orange inside) and Piel de Sapo, which is a lovely, sweet melon that I really like. You can also use honeydew melon instead. 

♥ Preferably use yellow mangoes (Pakistani mangoes), which are much sweeter and better in taste.

♥ Fresh mozzarella comes shaped as balls and can be purchased in bags where the cheese balls are in brine (125 grams each). You get the best taste if you use mozzarella made from buffalo milk. However, using mozzarella made from cow's milk is also perfectly fine. 

♥ Melon and mozzarella are a delightful combination. Also see Burrata with Melon and Parma Ham and Caprese with Watermelon and Mozzarella. 

Taste of summer! 😎
