Green Salad with New Potatoes and Prosciutto Preparation time: 15 minutes Cooking time: 25 minutes Total time: 40 minutes Number of servings: 4 If you're looking for a quick, healthy and flavorful recipe, greens salad with new potatoes and prosciutto is the perfect choice. This salad not only blends textures and flavors, but it's also a burst of color, catching the eye and appetite of everyone who serves it. It is an ideal recipe for hot summer days or a light but refined lunch. Its origins lie in the Mediterranean tradition, where fresh ingredients are the stars of any meal. Ingredients: - 600 g red new potatoes - 1 bay leaf - 2 tablespoons lemon-flavored olive oil (I recommend you choose a quality oil to intensify the flavor) - 1 tablespoon sherry (you can also use white wine vinegar as an alternative) - Grated zest of 1 lemon (make sure it is organic to avoid chemicals) - 140 g mixed greens (e.g.: frisée, radicchio, leek and arugula - you can experiment with other greens to taste) - 150 g radishes, thinly sliced - 4 thin slices of prosciutto (this ingredient adds a distinct flavor, but you can substitute ham or tofu for a vegetarian version) - Salt and pepper to taste Nutrition information (per serving): - Calories: about 300 kcal - Protein: 8 g - Fat: 15 g - Carbohydrate: 35 g - Fiber: 4 g Steps for a perfect result: 1. Boiling the potatoes: Start by washing the new potatoes thoroughly under running cold water to remove any impurities. Then put them in a large pot, fill with water and add a teaspoon of salt and the bay leaf. Boil them over a medium heat for 15-25 minutes, until tender. A simple way to check if they're done is to prick them with a fork; if the fork goes in easily, the potatoes are perfectly cooked. 2. Prepare the dressing: After boiling the potatoes, drain them of the water and discard the bay leaf. In a small bowl, whisk together 1 tablespoon lemon-flavored olive oil, 1 tablespoon sherry, and grated lemon zest. This dressing will add a fresh and vibrant touch to your salad. Season with salt and pepper to taste. 3. Mixing the ingredients: In a large bowl, add the mixed greens and sliced radishes. Then add the boiled potatoes, cut into halves or quarters, depending on size. Pour the prepared dressing over the mixture and toss gently with a spatula to avoid mashing the potatoes. 4. Serving: Arrange the salad on a flat plate, creating as eye-catching an appearance as possible. Place thin slices of prosciutto on top. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon of lemon-flavored olive oil and add a little salt and pepper for extra flavor. You can garnish with a few arugula leaves or fresh dill for an even more appetizing look. Helpful tips: - If you want an even richer salad, add feta cheese or grated Parmesan. - Instead of prosciutto, use grilled chicken slices for a heartier version. - I recommend serving this salad with a dry white wine or fresh lemonade. Possible variations: - Add avocado for extra creaminess. - Replace radishes with cucumber for a more refreshing salad. - You can turn this salad into a main course by adding quinoa or cooked chickpeas. Frequently asked questions: - Can I use regular potatoes instead of new potatoes? - Yes, but the cooking time will be longer; be sure to test them with a fork. - Is the salad good for the diet? - Yes, it's high in fiber, vitamins and minerals, moderate in calories and ideal for a healthy diet. Personal note: This salad reminds me of family meals in the garden every summer. The flavors of lemon and prosciutto combine perfectly, and every bite is an explosion of flavor. Feel free to customize it to your taste and share the result with your loved ones! Enjoy!
