Shaved Turnip Salad With Arugula And Prosciutto Recipes

ARUGULA PARMESAN PROSCIUTTO SALAD

Steps:

• Cut the slices of prosciutto into 2- to 3-inch pieces. Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Place the prosciutto in the hot pan and cook for a few minutes on each side, until crispy (the prosciutto will crisp up even more once it cools). Transfer the prosciutto to a paper towel lined plate.
• Place the arugula in a large bowl. Drizzle with olive oil and the lemon juice and season with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Toss the arugula to coat it with the dressing and add the Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese.
• Top with the crispy prosciutto, or plate on individual serving dishes and then top with the crispy prosciutto.

SHAVED TURNIP SALAD

Steps:

• Whisk 2 tablespoons lemon juice, 1 mashed anchovy fillet, 1 small grated garlic clove, 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt and a few grinds of pepper in a large bowl; let sit 5 minutes. Whisk in 2 tablespoons olive oil. Peel 2 small turnips and thinly slice on a mandoline. Toss with the dressing along with 1/2 cup fresh parsley; season with salt and pepper.

SHAVED SALAD WITH PROSCIUTTO BITS

Steps:

• For the vinaigrette: In a small bowl, whisk together the vinegar and salt. The salt crystals should dissolve. Whisk in the mustard, oregano, and black pepper. Slowly whisk in the olive oil to form a smooth emulsion. Crumble in the blue cheese, if using. Pour the vinaigrette into a serving bowl to be passed at the table with a spoon. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
• For the salad: Set out 8 salad bowls, preferably clear glass so the guests can see the layers of vegetables. For each bowl, put down a layer of arugula and then a layer of fennel. Season with salt and pepper, to taste, and sprinkle 1 tablespoon Parmesan and 1 tablespoon Prosciutto Bits over the fennel. Next, put down a layer of zucchini and a layer of red cabbage. Once again, season with salt and pepper to taste and sprinkle with Parmesan and Prosciutto Bits. Put down a layer of carrots over the top and finish with a small sprinkling of Parmesan and Prosciutto Bits.
• Serve the salads at room temperature. Pass the vinaigrette at the table. Allow guests to dress their own salads and mix up the layers.

SHAVED TURNIP SALAD WITH ARUGULA AND PROSCIUTTO

Steps:

• In a small bowl, whisk the vinegar and salt until the salt dissolves. Whisk in the honey, oil and pepper.
• Using a mandoline or sharp knife, slice the turnips into paper-thin rounds. In a large bowl, combine turnips, arugula and prosciutto. Toss with the dressing. Taste and adjust seasonings if necessary.

ARUGULA SALAD WITH CHOPPED EGG AND PROSCIUTTO

Steps:

• Make the vinaigrette: In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil and vinegar. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
• Divide arugula among 4 large plates. Using the large holes of a box grater, grate 1 egg over the center of each salad. (Alternatively, press the egg through a wide-meshed sieve or hand-chop.)
• Sprinkle each salad very lightly with salt. Whisk the dressing again and drizzle about 1 1/2 tablespoons over each salad. Drape 2 slices of prosciutto artfully over each salad, if using, and serve.
