This prosciutto melon pasta salad recipe pairs sweet melon, salty prosciutto, fresh herbs, and mozzarella with farfalle pasta and a zesty white balsamic vinaigrette.
I love this pasta salad recipe so much. Like, so much. ♡
I first shared it here on the site nearly 15 years ago, and it’s been a summertime favorite in our house ever since. It’s everything I want in a pasta salad this time of year — nice and light, overflowing with fresh ingredients, and perfectly balanced with sweet and savory flavors.
Juicy melon and salty prosciutto are always an irresistible pair in my book, especially when combined with creamy mozzarella, peppery arugula, and a handful of fresh basil and mint. Everything gets tossed with bow-tie pasta and a quick white balsamic vinaigrette, which keeps the colors vibrant and adds the perfect bright, zippy finish.. It’s easy to make ahead, perfect for potlucks and picnics, and always disappears fast. Whether you serve it as a side or a simple summer main, this one’s a keeper!
