Ingredients
- 1 teaspoon crushed red pepper
- 1 small cantaloupe or honeydew melon
- 2 ounces lower-sodium country ham, thinly sliced

Instructions
- Place crushed red pepper in a small dry skillet over medium heat. Toast for 90 seconds, stirring frequently. Remove pan from heat and let cool.
- Cut melon in half lengthwise, remove and discard seeds, and quarter lengthwise. Remove the peel. Shave the melon into strips using a vegetable peeler. Arrange melon strips and ham slices on a platter. Crumble the burrata evenly over top and sprinkle with toasted red pepper and cracked black pepper. Drizzle vinaigrette over top. If using, garnish with fresh basil right before serving.
