An intelligent salad of prosciutto and blue cheese


Don’t hate me because I make so many salads.

In fact, I don’t eat salad that often, it’s just that they are so picturesque that I’m writing about them here. Of course, the other reason for a colourful salad is that
  i) they are easy to throw together
  ii) you can have a modicum of prosciutto and blue cheese because...
  iii) the prosciutto and blue cheese are offset by the healthfulness of the iron-packed spinach leaves

Hence, Σ(3 x prosciutto, blue cheese) = 1 x handful of spinach leaves

See, salads make you brainier, too.

Prosciutto and Blue Cheese Salad
Serves 2

Ingredients
80g rocket or other salad leaves
6 cherry tomatoes, halved
3 slices prosciutto
100g blue cheese, crumbled

Dressing
¼ cup (60ml) olive oil
1 tsp Dijon mustard
1 tblsp balsamic vinegar

Method
1. Make the dressing by whisking the dressing ingredients together in a bowl.
2. Place the salad leaves and tomatoes in another bowl. Pour over the dressing and gently toss to combine.
3. Tear over the prosciutto and add the blue cheese. Serve immediately.

Look at the large bowl of leaves, and the beautifully carved prosciutto
Throw it all together and eat. And wait for your IQ to soar.
PS: There are also a couple of pieces of smoked chicken in the above salad
