Recipe Information

Total Time:
Yield:
4 servings

Ingredients

1 (3-ounce) package thinly sliced prosciutto

1 pound green beans, washed, trimmed and cut into 2- to 3-inch pieces

1 cup grape tomatoes

¼ red onion, thinly sliced

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

Coarse sea salt, to taste

Cracked black pepper, to taste

Directions

  1. In a large nonstick skillet, arrange prosciutto slices in a single layer without overlapping. Cook over medium heat for 4 to 5 minutes or until brown and crispy, turning frequently. Drain on paper towel; break into large pieces. Reserve drippings in skillet.
  2. To blanch beans, bring a large saucepan of lightly salted water to boil; add beans. Gently boil for 2 to 3 minutes or until beans turn bright green and just begin to become crisp-tender. Immediately drain in a colander and transfer to a large bowl of ice water to stop cooking.
  3. Drain beans and dry well. Transfer to a large serving bowl. Add tomatoes, onion and prosciutto; set aside.
  4. In a small bowl, whisk together prosciutto drippings, olive oil and lemon juice. Pour over vegetable salad mixture and toss to coat. Season to taste with sea salt and black pepper.

For individual picnic salads: Transfer tossed salad to small storage-and-canning jars. Close with lids and pack in an insulated cooler with an ice pack.
