Description

Wedge salad with avocado, prosciutto crumbles, and homemade buttermilk ranch dressing. It’s easy to make and goes with just about anything!


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 3 thin-slices prosciutto*
  • 1 head iceberg lettuce, about 1 1/2 pounds
  • 3/4 cup sweet grape tomatoes, halved and/or quartered
  • 1 ripe avocado, seeded, peeled, and chopped
  • 1 recipe Homemade Buttermilk Ranch Dressing
  • Kosher salt and fresh black pepper

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Arrange the prosciutto in a single layer on the baking sheet. Bake until wrinkled and slightly shrunken, about 11-13 minutes. Set aside to cool completely. It will crisp up as it cools.
  3. Discard the outer leaves of the lettuce and cut the iceberg in half right through the middle, then cut the halves into four wedges.
  4. Arrange the wedges on a platter or individual plates, spoon a generous amount of Buttermilk Ranch Dressing over each wedge so that it drips down the sides, then top with chopped tomatoes and avocado.
  5. Crumble the cooled prosciutto and sprinkle over each wedge. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • Prosciutto: Prosciutto is an Italian dry-cured ham that is usually thinly sliced and can be found pre-packaged in the deli section of most grocery stores.
  • Tomatoes: Feel free to use cherry tomatoes or Campari tomatoes. Both are delicious and readily available year-round. Just make sure to chop the tomatoes into small bits and pieces.
