Prosciutto is the Italian word for ham and is thinly sliced. The flavor tops off these creative bundles that can be served as a salad or appetizer.

Makes 12 wraps

Ingredients:

  • 3 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 teaspoon red wine vinegar
  • 2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
  • ½ teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • ¼ pound mix salad greens, washed
  • Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • ½ teaspoon fresh thyme, minced
  • 2 tablespoons Parmigiano-Reggiano, freshly grated
  • 12 thin slices prosciutto

    Instructions:

    In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, vinegar, lemon juice, mustard and thyme. Toss the lettuce with the vinaigrette, season with salt and pepper. Add Parmigiano.

    To assemble, place a slice of prosciutto on cutting board. Place a large spoonful of salad at the narrow end of the prosciutto. Roll the prosciutto into a tight log, jelly roll style. Slice the roll into 2 inch pieces diagonally. Repeat with the remaining prosciutto and salad greens and serve.

    Create your own by tossing the salad greens with any of your favorite vinaigrette or dressings.
    Use all spinach or arugula to replace the mixed greens.
