Juicy cantaloupe, sweet cherry tomatoes and cooling cucumber meet slices of rich Suino Nero – a standout Italian selection of cured meats from Calabria’s iconic black pig, featuring spicy salsiccia, salame, capocollo and lombo – for a salad that’s all about contrast. Tossed with pesto-marinated mozzarella and a zingy lemon and basil dressing, it’s fresh, vibrant and made for warm-weather eating – ideal for easy lunches, alfresco dinners or effortless entertaining. Serve the rest of the platter at aperitivo hour and watch it disappear. When Isle of Wight Summer Selection Tomatoes aren't in season, this will work just as well with any cherry tomatoes.
