This salad dressing sounds a little crazy. Yet the strange combination of two basic ingredients really works, providing a sweet/tangy edge to a simple mixture of fresh greens. A few well chosen add-ins really make this salad shine. Everything can be prepped ahead and tossed at the very last minute. Perfect paired with a protein of choice for an easy weeknight meal…yet special enough for company. (It’s rather good with pizza, too!)
Crispy Prosciutto Topped Salad with 2-Ingredient Dressing
Ingredients
Crispy Prosciutto Topped Salad
- Mixed greens of your choice
- Prosciutto, sauteed until crispy (see notes)
- Blue cheese, crumbled
- Red onion, slivered
2-Ingredient Dressing
- Equal parts white wine vinegar and sugar (A quarter cup of each will give you enough for multiple salads.)
Instructions
- Heat until sugar dissolves. Keeps for several weeks in fridge.
- Place salad ingredients in bowl, drizzle with dressing, and toss.
Notes
- Go lightly on the salad dressings. You can always add more. Particularly with a good homemade dressing, less dressing will deliver the flavor while not weighing down the greens.
- The prosciutto may also be baked in a 350 degree oven for 10-13 minutes or until crispy. Just watch at the end so that it doesn't burn. As yet another option, the prosciutto may be grilled over high heat for 1-2 minutes, depending on thinly it has been cut. Prosciutto can be prepped up to several days in advance and stored in a sealed plastic bag in fridge. (To re-crisp if needed, briefly place in a warm oven.)
- Optional add-ins include quartered button or baby portobello mushrooms, halved tomato grapes, and/or toasted pine nuts or walnuts.
