Ingredients
- 4 to 6 slices prosciutto
- 4 ounces mixed lettuce greens
- ½ cup cucumber sliced
- ⅓ cup kalamata olives
- ⅓ cup feta cheese
- ⅛ cup red onion sliced
For the Dressing
- 1 clove garlic minced
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon dried oregano
- 8 grinds fresh black pepper
- 1 teaspoon dijon mustard
- ¼ cup red wine vinegar
- ¼ cup olive oil
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°. Lay your prosciutto slices on a baking sheet pan lined with parchment paper and bake for 10 to 12 minutes. They will crisp up as they cool.
- Add all the ingredients for the vinaigrette to a small jar with a lid and shake well to combine. Or whisk in a bowl.
- Prepare your veggies and add all salad ingredients to a bowl. Toss with the dressing. Break up the crispy prosciutto adding some to toss with the salad and saving some for the top. Garnish with a sprinkle of oregano and serve.
Notes
- Wait to dress the salad until just before serving.
- Extra vinaigrette can be kept in the fridge and used on any salad for a month or longer. Let it come to room temperature on the counter and shake well before using.
