Summer Salad Ingredients:
2-3 slices prosciutto
2 cups baby spinach and 2 cups arugula (or any mixed greens)
10-15 1-inch cubes of watermelon – OR – cubed tomatoes
½ cup coarsely chopped pistachios
¼ cup thinly sliced red onion or shallot
½ cup feta cheese crumbles
¼ cup balsamic vinegar
½ cup extra virgin olive oil
½ t each kosher salt and pepper
Directions:
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Lay slices of prosciutto in an even layer on parchment – careful not to overlap. Bake for 8-10 minutes until crispy. Remove and let cool.
Spread greens on a large platter or low-rimmed bowl. Layer on watermelon, pistachios, red onion, feta, and crumble the crispy prosciutto (it will be very thin and easy to crumble).
Add vinegar, oil, salt, and pepper to a small mason jar and shake until well combined and emulsified. Drizzle salad with dressing just before serving – or serve dressing separately. Store extra dressing in the mason jar in refrigerator for up to a week.
This is a sweet and salty fresh take on a BLT that is perfect for summer! It is not only delicious, it is very nutritious!
