Like Beauty and the Beast, lush melon and salty cured meat work inexplicably well together. Here we’re swapping melon’s go-to companion, prosciutto, for a kickier salami. Add buttery pistachios and briny olives to knock it out of the park. Use honeydew, cantaloupe, Hami, or even watermelon—or a combination of a few kinds to keep things interesting. —Shilpa Uskokovic
