Smoked Salmon And Melon Salad

"A simple and exquisite appetiser made with fresh melon and smoked salmon, with a drizzle of balsamic and a sprinkling of fresh mint. Gorgeous! Even if salmon is not home cured. A couple of years ago I had this starter in a great little Provençal bistro and I fell in love. Smoked fish – in the original it was local trout, house-smoked – was layered with deliciously cold and immaculately ripe melon slices. There was a sprinkling of herbs, there was tart and sweet dressing and the whole dish was delightful. I didn’t ask for a recipe, fool me, but thanks to that omission I was able to create my own take on it here, without being accused of plagiarising theirs."
