Chilled Cantaloupe Gazpacho

Ingredients

• 4 slices prosciutto
• 1 ripe medium cantaloupe, halved, peeled, seeded, and roughly chopped (about 4 cups)
• 1 large cucumber, peeled, seeded and chopped (about 2 cups)
• 1/2 large sweet onion (such as Vidalia), peeled and chopped (about 3/4 cup)
• 1 cup ice water
• 1 tablespoon sherry vinegar
• 1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil
• Kosher salt
• thinly sliced and browned sage for serving (see directions)

​Directions
1. Adjust oven rack to middle position and preheat oven to 375°F. Place prosciutto on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet and bake until prosciutto becomes very crispy, about 8 minutes. Drain on paper towels and let cool completely. Crumble prosciutto into shards. Set aside.
2. In a blender, combine cantaloupe, cucumber, onion, ice water, and vinegar and blend at high speed until smooth. With blender running, slowly drizzle in olive oil. Blend until smooth and frothy, about 1 minute longer. Season with salt. Transfer gazpacho to airtight container and refrigerate until chilled, about 1 hour.
3. Brown your sage by sauteing in butter, low heat, for 1-2 minutes or until butter turns brown and gives off a sweet sage smell.
4. Divide gazpacho between serving bowls and top with crispy prosciutto and browned sage.
