3. Transfer the grated tomato to a small bowl and add the reserved tomato water, 2 T olive oil, the sherry vinegar, salt and pepper. Set aside.

4. Slice the exotic tomatoes into wedges and the melon into small pieces the same size.

5. Place in a large bowl and toss well with the remaining olive oil and season to taste.

6.To serve, spoon the grated tomato mixture onto a plate, lay the tomato and melon mixture on top, then top with the ham.

Cook’s note: For an Italian twist, replace the Serrano ham with Parma ham, add Woolworths’ burrata and freshly picked basil.
