Method

Salad Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Romaine

    Wash and dry the romaine lettuce thoroughly. Tear it into bite-sized pieces and place it in a large salad bowl.

  2. 2

    Slice the Cucumbers

    Cut the cucumber into thin slices and add them to the bowl with the romaine.

Topping Preparation

  1. 3

    Prepare the Prosciutto

    In a skillet over medium heat, cook the prosciutto slices until they are crispy, about 4-5 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool, then break into pieces.

  2. 4

    Add the Toppings

    Chop the pistachios roughly and sprinkle them over the salad. Add the crispy prosciutto pieces on top.

Vinaigrette Preparation

  1. 5

    Make the Vinaigrette

    In a small bowl, whisk together the gorgonzola cheese, olive oil, red wine vinegar, honey, salt, and black pepper until well combined and creamy.

  2. 6

    Dress the Salad

    Drizzle the tangy gorgonzola vinaigrette over the salad just before serving. Toss gently to combine all ingredients.
