Serves 4 1 honeydew melon cut into four wedges 1 cup fresh ricotta or farmer’s cheese 4 strips of crisply cooked bacon, drained and crumbled 1. Place a wedge of melon on each for four plates. 2. Top each wedge with ¼ cup of the cheese. 3. Sprinkle each wedge with bacon and serve. NOTE: The freshness of the cheese really counts in this dish. Fresh cheese is lighter than the commercial brands and is a better match for the delicacy of the melon. Recipe by Anna Gill
