Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups cannellini beans
- 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 4 slices prosciutto
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes
- 2 cups fresh spinach
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
Instructions
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the prosciutto slices and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until crispy. Remove from the skillet and set aside on a paper towel-lined plate.
In the same skillet, add the remaining olive oil and minced garlic. Sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Add the cherry tomatoes to the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they begin to soften and blister.
Stir in the cannellini beans and cook for 2-3 minutes to warm through.
Reduce the heat to low and add the fresh spinach. Gently toss until the spinach is wilted, about 1-2 minutes.
Remove the skillet from heat. Add the lemon juice, parsley, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine.
Crumble the crispy prosciutto over the top of the warm salad.
Transfer the salad to a serving platter or individual plates and serve immediately.
