Ingredients:

Serving

1 cantaloupe , cut into bite-sized pieces (about 5 lb, and remember, when selecting, less green means more ripe)
3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1 tbsp cider vinegar
1 tbsp sugar
1/2 cup prosciutto di parma , torn into small shreds (about 4 oz)
3 tbsp fresh chives, snipped (almost all of a 1 oz cello package, plus additional for garnish)
1/4 tsp fresh ground pepper (to taste)
1 loaf crusty country bread (about 1 lb. publix supermarket has a tuscan boule that i like alot)
olive oil , for broiling
8 oz fresh goat cheese

Directions:

TO MAKE THE SALAD: Combine the melon pieces, olive oil, vinegar, prosciutto, sugar and chives in a medium bowl and toss gently to blend. Add pepper to taste. Salad can be made ahead several hours and refrigerated. Let come to room temperature for best flavor. Garnish with longer strips of chives.
TO MAKE RUSTIC CROUTONS: Preheat broiler.
Cut the bread into 1-inch thick slices. Coat generously with olive oil, using a brush, or pour some oil onto a flat plate and briefly dip both sides of each slice.Toast under broiler on an ungreased baking sheet until golden, about two-and-a-half minutes per side. WATCH CLOSELY! Let cool, then spread generously with goat cheese, or serve the cheese separately.
