GREEN SALAD WITH PROSCIUTTO VINAIGRETTE

CategoryDifficultyBeginner

Prosciutto vinaigrette—it can't help but steal the limelight in this recipe's title. And, don't get us wrong, its sharp, umami flavors are truly exceptional. The crisped prosciutto adds salty and savory notes, not unlike what Parmesan brings to a Caesar dressing. But focusing on the vinaigrette alone seems to take focus off the salad itself; a bowl brimming with Bartlett pears, celery, avocado, green beans, cucumber, and kiwi. What we mean to say is that this isn't just a salad, it's a celebration. A green feast. A—you get the point, it's a salad that's worthy of its sauce.

Yields8 Servings
 4 thin prosciutto (about 1 ounce)
 1 garlic clove, finely grated
 0.25 cup olive oil
 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
