4 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
2 tsp clear honey
¾ tsp paprika
1 lime, juice
2 ripe avocados
½ cantaloupe melon, cut into 4 even segments
½ x 25g pack mint, leaves picked
90g pack Spanish serrano ham

In a small bowl, use a fork or small whisk to combine the oil, honey, paprika and lime juice until well combined and emulsified (or shake the ingredients together in a clean jam jar). Season and set aside.
Halve and stone the avocados, then thinly slice. Remove the rind from the melon segments, then cut each into 3 thin slices. Arrange both over a platter and scatter over the mint leaves, tearing any larger leaves.
Spoon three-quarters of the dressing generously over everything. Drape the serrano ham around the avocado and melon, then drizzle a little more dressing over the top.
