WOAH. Sautéed red pepper, fresh juicy tomato, crisp red onion, prosciutto, crumbled blue cheese, topped with candied walnuts and sweet balsamic dressing. This Prosciutto Wrapped Salad with Sweet Balsamic is a salty, sweet summer salad that is going to be your new favorite party dish.Why? It's easy to make, it's beaauutiful AND it's the perfect salty/sweet ratio for a delicious summer salad...It will also make you look very cool if you bring it to parties (just my opinion). Also, it's important for me to mention that I don't usually love raw tomatoes but SOMEHOW they're super sneaky and fly under the radar in this recipe. My sister Steph (the creator of this recipe), is the lead authority on tasty salads for all family get-togethers and life in general. She is also part owner of a restaurant called Savory Salads. Again, she's VERY good at making salads.
How to Make Prosciutto Wrapped Salad with Sweet Balsamic
Let’s start this party by roasting the red peppers. Then, slice your red peppers into thin strips and sauté them in olive oil, a pinch of salt, and a sprinkle of garlic powder for good luck. Next, cook them over medium heat, flipping them occasionally, and wait until you see the red pepper browning on the edges. Remove them from the heat and set them aside.
Slice your tomatoes (we used beefsteak tomatoes for this recipe!) into thick slices. I try to get 3-4 slices out of a large tomato. Place them on a platter. Quickly sauté your prosciutto over medium heat. Just enough to heat the prosciutto and release its oils so you get its heightened flavor. Top each of your tomatoes with 1 to 1 ½ slices of prosciutto.
Thinly slice your onion and place (about 3) onion ringlets and place on each of your tomato slices. Add your crumbled bleu cheese and candied walnuts on top of the tomato, prosciutto, and onion. Finally, drizzle your delicious sweet balsamic vinaigrette dressing (recipe included below) over top and serve!
