Proscuitto With Warm Vegetable Salad

I had to add this one in case you think we never dealt with vegetables. Silly! Of course we do.

For 4 people you will need

  • 2 1/2 cups of vegetables, julienned
  • 1/2 lb. of Proscuitto, that has been cut in strips
  •  1 tsp. butter

Melt the butter in a frying pan and add the proscuitto and cook until browned.
Drop the veggies in a pot of boiling water and cook for 1 minute. Remove and drain.

Mix the proscuitto with the vegetables and add the dressing.

Dressing:

  • 1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 tsp. walnut oil
  • 1 tbsp. Balsamic Vinegar
  • 2 tsp. dry mustard
  • salt and pepper to taste

Pour over the salad and toss until all is coated well.

A tiny bit of basil that has been sliced thin and top the salad.

This will make a nice salad in the summer. Sitting on the deck, glass of chilled white wine and this tidbit of yumminess makes the world sing.
