Serves 4
Ingredients:
1 English cucumber
4 cups arugula or favorite salad greens
2 Tbsp olive oil
1 Tbsp lemon juice
3 oz prosciutto
4 medium heirloom tomatoes, thinly sliced
1 (8 oz) ball fresh burrata, sliced thinly or torn into pieces
Kosher salt
Basil Pesto
Directions:
Using a vegetable peeler, peel cucumber to make as many thin ribbons as you can. Set aside. Toss arugula with olive oil, lemon juice and a pinch of salt. Tear prosciutto slices in half or thirds. Sprinkle tomatoes with a pinch of salt.
To assemble salad, layer arugula, cucumber, and tomatoes on each plate and top with prosciutto, burrata, and a drizzle of basil pesto.
Note, if time permits, make your own basil pesto. Our favorite pestos available on our website!
