Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 hearts Romaine lettuce
- 6 slices Prosciutto
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Honey
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 0.25 cup Shaved Parmesan cheese
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Lay the prosciutto slices on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they do not overlap. Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until crispy. Remove and set aside to cool.
While the prosciutto cools, prepare the vinaigrette by whisking together olive oil, lemon juice, honey, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper in a small bowl. Adjust seasoning to taste if needed.
Wash and dry the romaine hearts. Chop them into bite-sized pieces and place them in a large salad bowl.
Once the prosciutto is cool, break it into bite-sized crisps and add them to the salad bowl.
Drizzle the prepared vinaigrette over the salad and gently toss to combine.
Top the salad with shaved Parmesan cheese.
Serve immediately and enjoy!
