This is a refreshing salad with an amazing combo of sweet, juicy cantaloupe, intriguing spicy smoky chorizo, and distinctly peppery rocket salad, dressed simply with olive oil.
Cantaloupe Ribbons and Chorizo Salad
inspired by My Recipes
|
- Heat a small skillet over medium heat. Add the chorizo slices and cook for 1-2 minutes or until the slices are crispy. Let cool, then break into small pieces.
- Shave off ribbons of cantaloupe, using a vegetable peeler or mandoline. Arrange arugula leaves and cantaloupe ribbons on two serving plates. Sprinkle the chorizo and crushed pink peppers over. Drizzle olive oil over salads.

What a wonderful combination of fresh flavors in this beautiful dish, Angie! It looks so spring-inspired and delicious. Thanks for sharing!
Love the chorizo with the cantaloupe - makes a nice change from proscuitto, even though that is tasty as well.
At first look ( haven't read the post title yet :P ) , I thought that's one gorgeous looking (homemade)pasta dish hahaha So that's one gorgeous and refreshing cantaloupe salad then ;D Haven't tried that combination before but with chorizo , I'm sold ! ;D
Loving the chorizo, great touch :)
Nice post!
Love this salad. Beautiful ribbons.
A splendid salad! Fresh and flavorful.
Cheers,

What a delightful and unique salad - the flavours of the cantaloupe and chorizo compliment each other beautifully.

WOW!! A beautiful plate of salad! Wish I could have some now!!
That's very creative, healthy and looks fabulous! Love it.
Beautiful, colorful, and healthy!
I have been eyeing the cantaloupes and you have beat me to them. This recipe does make great use of this terrific fruit. Love the sweet and salt combo. I am sure the chorizo adds some wonderful flavor to this. Well done!
So healthy and gorgeous at the same time. This is spectacular Angie.

Such a pleasing palate..lovely color and beautiful ribbons! So refreshing..
What a great combo of flavours, Angie, and it looks amazing! I LOVE the surface you are shooting on, so rustic and beautiful. I've seen it in other shots and have meant to comment but forgot!
Not only is this salad beautiful, but I love the sweet spicy salad idea.
What a great combination! Feel like I'm outside at a picnic....
These plates of salad looks so healthy and refreshing... this is a prefect springtime recipe to get in shape!
Very interesting use of the cantaloupe! I just love anything with chorizo in it!
This salad looks wonderful. You can never go wrong with arugula.
You had me at Cantalope Ribbons! Beautiful salad, and so creative.
What a brilliant combination! And lovely pictures too.
Interesting combination of flavors, I know I'd love it, different but looks so good! Very pretty salad.
This is a gorgeous salad. It is not always easy to find something that is healthy and delicious, but I think I've found it here. This sounds wonderful. I hope you have a great day. Blessings...Mary
Wow this looks awesome! So creative. I love the sweet/salty combo :)
What brilliant interpretation of the more common cantaloup and prosciutto! I love the addition of the tangy rocket leaves and pink peppercorns. This will be spectacular when the farmers'markets are selling sweet, summer melons! This might end up on our summer gourmet menu :) Thank you, Angie!
At first I thought this was pasta.... What a great idea to make salad out of melons!
What an amazing salad! I bet the combination of melon and chorizo is fantastic!
This looks absolutely delicious !!
This is absolutely lovely. I want to try this immediately!
This is so beautiful - and such a wonderful light lunch!
Delicious contrasting flavors yet so simple to do, awesome! Beautiful photos!
Angie I'm jumping up and down in my seat! This is so wonderful, beautiful and creative. I can't wait to try this salad. I wish I could spend a week with you in your kitchen. I just want to soak up the creativity. Thanks and have a great weekend.
What an excellent combination of flavors and textures. It looks beautiful too!
I love the sweet and salty flavors going on in this salad! Stunning, Angie!
What a lovely combination! Love parma ham and cantaloupe but will probably love this even more because I'm nuts about chorizo. Love the photos.
That dish is absolutely beautiful! I'm not sure where to start. :) Just like Anne wrote, I also thought that it was a pasta dish at first. WOW! Your cantaloupe ribbons are really a piece of art. Very impressive and I love the presentation.
That is gorgeous! I have been craving melon lately--must be longing for spring--and this is the perfect dish for it.
such a creative creation, I love everything about it....now to recreate for my own table soon;-)
Luce absolutamente hermoso y delicioso ,me encantan las pastas ,abrazos hugs,hugs.
This is a new idea of eating melon! Beautiful ribbons!!
I am drooling looking at that right now.
I've always loved cantaloupes with prosciutto so I'm imagining this would be just as delicious. And instead of a starter, it's become a main with the pasta ... great for a warm weather lunch!
I kept seeing this on foodgawker and was so intrigued by it...it sounds perfect for summer!
Sound refreshing and good!
Refreshing & lovely salad! Sound even better with Chorizo! Will certainly try this recipe for the coming summer! :)
You are so creative, Angie. I love this salad! Healthy, tasty and so pretty to the eye! Perfect for a summer lunch.
BTW: I made your pineapple/apple salsa. It was wonderful!
Awesome idea of a dish Angie! I never thought of combining cantaloupe Arugula and choriz (and olives). the freshness of the fruit and the other spicy ingredients, very delicious! Great post and awesome presentation!
i see that you have 2 plates there..dont mind me taking one plate away for myself? LOL!
This looks like such a great salad! I am going to have to try it.
I love recipes with few ingredients that pack big flavor. What a nice balance between sweet and spicy.
wow such a pretty salad love it
What a pretty presentation. I enjoy cantaloupe and charcuterie together. This looks delicious. :)
What a gorgeous salad! Congratulations on top 9 today! :)
What a great recipe - so inventive. Those ribbons are divine.
Such a pretty and genius combination...ribbons of sweet goodness paired with the spiciness of the chorizo!
I just noiticed we are sid-by-side this morning on Top 9...Congratulations, Angie:DDD
I love cantaloupe,look amazing an delicious and the picture is amazing look like summer:)))
This looks just like pasta! What a pretty and unique salad!
Amazing! If I hadn't seen the title I would have sworn this is pasta with chorizo! Thanks for sharing this extraordinary recipe.
what a delicious and intriguing combination. One I would never have thought of which is why I love your posts.
What a wonderful salad. I've tried chorizo once and didn't like it but I can think of so many other things using the melon and rocket, which is a great combination. Congratulations on the Top 9.
Wow - very creative, and very pretty! What a great presentation :)
That looks great, I love chorizo, and have mixed it with several fruits before, but never thought of this combo, I will definitely be trying this during the week. BTW your food photography skills are very impressive, I am envious :)
What an absolutely lovely salad! I've had chorizo with cantaloupe before but never like this as a salad with arugula. This sounds wonderful! I can see why it made the Foodbuz Top 9! Congrats!

What a lovely idea with cantelopes. I am sure it would taste heavenly too
Beautiful photos. Such a gorgeous, bright, fresh salad.
I never would have thought to use cantaloupe for ribbons, but I love it and can't wait to try this!
Canteloupe ribbons - what a brilliant idea! I've seen many zucchini ribbons in my day :) but not canteloupe!
What an unlikely but delicious combination Angie! The cantaloupe ribbons are gorgeous!
Angie, I just wanted to let you know I made this for a birthday dinner party last night and it was delicious! I made a vinaigrette with a little champagne vinegar and a touch of sugar and Aleppo pepper and dressed the melon and topped the arugula with the melon and then the chorizo. Our melons aren't the best yet but it was still wonderful. Thank you!
Gorgeous photos and fantastic salad!
Hi Angie,
It looks so beautiful, healthy and delicious! I will have to try this soon.
What a gorgeous salad--I love the way you cut the cantaloupe into ribbons!
such an elegant and refreshing looking salad!
@SavoringTime in the Kitchen Susan, I am so happy to hear that! Thanks!
This a very appropriate salad for this season! Fresh and inviting full of colors!
What a great idea in terms of the cantaloupe. You rarely see it used in this way, and it's very elegant for a salad.
This sounds like the perfect spring starter or side salad!
I never thought that cantaloupe and chorizo went well together but the salad looks delicious
It looks like a perfect tomato-based pasta dish from many angles :)
Never in a million years would I have thought to mix up chorizo and cantaloupe. But not only that turning it into ribbons is GENIUS. You never cease to amaze me Angie :)
chow! Devaki @ weavethousandflavors
What a beautiful salad - I bet this combination is super tasty!
I would have never thought about this combination of chorizo and cataloupe! Sounds great!
i never thought about making cantaloupe into ribbons and putting them into a salad! the sweetness of the fruit complements the chorizo, i'm sure!
Those cantaloupe ribbons are so pretty!
the presentation of this dish is what has really captured my imagination. I love the look of the melon ribbons. It won't be too long before locally grown cantaloupes will be available at our markets, and I'll be thrilled to try your recipe.
What an absolutely lovely and decorative salad...beautiful!
Oh my, what a beautiful sweet treat! I can wallop the whole melon anytime. haha... Yeah, Kristy sounded terrible. Am I ? :o)
