This very simple arugula Parmesan prosciutto salad is one that I enjoy often. It's the quickest salad to put together because the dressing is made à la minute - right on top of the greens instead of being mixed in a bowl.

Ingredients
- 4 ounces sliced prosciutto
- 5 ounces baby arugula
- olive oil
- juice from ½ lemon
- salt
- freshly ground cracked black pepper
- 2 ounces shaved Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese
Instructions
-
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.
