Fresh summer appetizer platter with napkins and a drink. Hi All!  When the summer heat hits LA it’s a little difficult for me to get myself to want to cook anything really, so today we have a super tasty and filling, Fresh Summer Appetizer Platter for you all…no cooking required!

I really had no idea what to call this concoction, but I think Fresh Summer Appetizer Platter is pretty fitting, right? It’s loaded with light and refreshing ingredients and the prosciutto adds a nice dimension of ‘salty’ to the bunch. The bed of honeyed-yogurt is actually one of my favorite things about this dish. I love that it’s lightly sweet, but still creamy and not heavy.

I guess this is sort of a modern day ambrosia salad. Anyway, this 20 minute dish is so light, refreshing and delicious and it’s also a total crown pleaser. I used this melon baller to for the cantaloupe Next time you’re in the mood for something simple and totally satisfying, but don’t feel like turning on the stove or oven I highly recommend making this dish! If you’re looking for another dish that requires no cooking. xx, Jenny
