Method

Crispy Prosciutto - To crisp your prosciutto, simply place on a baking tray which is lined with baking paper, place under the grill until it starts to brown and shrink. Flip it over and let the same happen on the other side. Then allow to cool.

Marinating Mozzarella - Mozzarella is has a very unoffensive, even bland taste sometimes. It is normally a good idea to marinate it before serving, the longer the better! Use simple ingredients such as garlic, chilli, black pepper and basil to give it a full flavour.

To assemble - In this salad I used, mixed leaf lettuce, iceberg lettuce, red onion, cucumber and cherry tomatoes. I quartered a fig, used three pieces of mozzarella and two thin slices of edam cheese as a little contrast. When the prosciutto is cooled you will be able to snap it into smaller pieces to tuck into the salad. I finished the dish by dressing it with a little of the oil the mozzarella had been marinating in and also balsamic glaze. To finally top it I used a garlic crouton to crumble over and add another little texture.
