Salami & Melon Hors D’oeuvres with Basil & Honey
These bite-sized hors d’oeuvres combine the delicate sweetness of ripe melon with the rich, savoury depth of our Signature Salami. Fresh basil adds a fragrant lift, while a drizzle of golden honey ties every flavour together.
Ingredients (makes 12–16 bites)
12–16 cubes of ripe cantaloupe or honeydew melon
12–16 half slices of Signature Salami (1 pack)
12–16 fresh basil leaves
Runny honey, for drizzling or dipping
Cocktail sticks or skewers, for serving
Method
Prepare the melon:
Cut your melon into even cubes, about 2–3 cm each and arrange them on a serving platter.
Layer the flavours:
Cut each slice of Signature Salami in half, then fold in half to create a neat ribbon shape.
Assemble:
On each skewer, thread a folded piece of salami, then a basil leaf and finish by securing it into a cube of melon.
Finish & serve:
Arrange on a platter and drizzle lightly with honey just before serving or offer a small bowl of honey for dipping.
Serving Tip
Serve chilled. These hors d’oeuvres also make a vibrant addition to any charcuterie grazing board or cocktail party spread.
