Ready Time

30 mins

Yields

6 servings

Ingredients

6 prosciutto slices
2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
1 (8-ounce) ball burrata cheese
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
6 cups mixed greens (arugula, spinach, lettuce)
1/4 cup chopped fresh mint leaves

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and lay the prosciutto slices on it.

Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until crispy and golden brown.

Let cool completely.

In a blender or food processor, combine olive oil, maple syrup, balsamic vinegar, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper.

Blend until smooth to make the Maple Balsamic Vinaigrette.

Cut the burrata cheese into small pieces and set aside.

In a large bowl, combine the mixed greens, sliced strawberries, crispy prosciutto, and chopped fresh mint leaves.

To assemble the salad, place a scoop of the mixed greens mixture on a plate, top with a piece of burrata cheese, and drizzle with the Maple Balsamic Vinaigrette.

Repeat this process for the remaining 5 servings.

Serve immediately and relish the sweet and savory flavors!

Notes

For the crispiest prosciutto, make sure to not overlap the slices on the baking sheet and keep an eye on them after 10 minutes in the oven, as they can go from perfect to burnt quickly. To make ahead, prepare the Maple Balsamic Vinaigrette and store it in the fridge for up to 5 days.

The crispy prosciutto can also be baked a day in advance, stored in an airtight container at room temperature.

Use high-quality ingredients, as they will make a big difference in the flavor and texture of the salad. Fresh strawberries will provide natural sweetness, while the burrata cheese will add creaminess.

To customize, consider adding other ingredients like toasted almonds or shaved parmesan cheese to the salad for added crunch and flavor.

Assemble the salad just before serving, as the crispy prosciutto can lose its crunch when exposed to moisture.
