Don't Try This At Home

Here's my most recent salad experiment:

Looks rather strange, right? It tasted like a fruit salad mated with some ceviche. I would say it's not for the faint of heart. Mr X and I enjoyed it but you can take that with a grain of salt because we have strange tastes in things. Mr X suggested that next time I make it I swap out the prosciutto for shrimp or even smoked salmon. I think it would be great with either of those.

Basically I made a dressing out of: olive oil, lime juice, fresh parsley, ground aniseed and grated lime peel. (The dressing was fantastic!)

Then I tossed the blueberries, fennel slices and red onion slices in the dressing and let it sit for a bit.

I put a few thin slices of prosciutto on a plate and then covered it with cubes of cantaloupe. Then I spooned the dressing/blueberry/fennel/onion mixture on top of that.
