Recipe: Parsley Salad

Exceptionally delicious! It's important to take a little bit of everything with each bite: some parsley, some onion, pieces of prosciutto and parmesan. That's when you'll taste how beautifully the flavors blend together.

I use either flat-leaf parsley or curly parsley for this salad because they have a milder, more delicate parsley flavor. Classic parsley seems a bit too strong for this combination.

Ingredients

1 bunch of flat-leaf parsley (or curly parsley)
1 small red onion
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
6 slices prosciutto crudo
parmesan

Servings: 2

How to prepare parsley salad

  1. Slice the onion into thin rounds. Sprinkle with a little salt and drizzle with lemon juice. Let it marinate for 10 minutes.
  2. Meanwhile, fry the prosciutto strips in a pan without adding any fat until they become crispy. When they cool down a bit, tear them into strips.
  3. Cut the parsley leaves over a bowl using scissors. Sprinkle with a little black pepper.
  4. Pour the oil over the onion and mix well. Pour the marinated onion over the parsley and gently toss with your fingers so you don't crush the parsley leaves.
  5. Place a small mound of parsley in the center of two flat plates.
  6. Arrange the prosciutto strips around the parsley. Use a vegetable peeler to shave (lots of!) parmesan strips over the parsley mounds.
  7. Serve immediately with toasted bread.
