Ingredients

1/4 cup champagne vinegar
1 tablespoon minced shallot
1/2 teaspoon minced garlic

1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1/4 cup olive oil
1 tablespoon chopped fresh herbs, such as basil, chives and parsley
1 cantaloupe, peeled seeded and cut into 1/2-inch dice

8 thin slices prosciutto, cut into thin strips
10 ounces fresh arugula, washed and spun dry

In a mixing bowl combine the vinegar, shallot, garlic, mustard, salt and pepper and whisk to combine. Combine the vegetable oil and olive oil in a measuring cup. While continuously whisking the vinegar mixture, add the oil in a slow, steady stream, until completely emulsified. Whisk in the fresh herbs and set aside as you prepare the salad.

Toss gently to combine; all ingredients should be well coated with the vinaigrette. Serve immediately.
