Preparation Instructions

1

Prepare the Prosciutto

Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F). Lay the prosciutto slices on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 10-15 minutes or until crispy. Remove from the oven and let cool.

2

Prepare the Salad

While the prosciutto is baking, wash and dry the baby gem lettuce. Cut each head in half lengthwise and place them on a serving platter.

3

Add Tomatoes and Cheese

Halve the cherry tomatoes and scatter them over the lettuce. Crumble the gorgonzola cheese on top.

4

Add Prosciutto

Break the crispy prosciutto into pieces and sprinkle them over the salad.

5

Dress the Salad

Drizzle with your favorite gorgonzola dressing, and season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve immediately.
