Equipment
- serving tongs
Ingredients
- 2 cups butter lettuce or your favorite lettuce
- 2 medium ripe tomatoes sliced, and seasoned with salt and pepper
- 1 medium sweet onion sliced into rings
- 4 ounces prosciutto slices
- 1 medium zucchini sliced
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil divided
- 3 balls (approximately 2 ounces each ball) burrata
- 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
- 2 teaspoons kosher salt divided, each ingredient element needs to be salted.
- 1½ teaspoon black pepper divided, each ingredient element needs to be peppered.
- ½ teaspoon dried basil
- ½ teaspoon dried oregano
- 2 tablespoons shredded Parmesan cheese
- fresh basil leaves for garnish optional
Instructions
- Brush the slices of zucchini and onion on both sides with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
- Grill the veggies on a grill pan over medium heat until grill marks have formed the veggies and are slightly softened (approximately 2 minutes per side). Once grilled, set the veggies aside.
- Mound the lettuce in the center of a large serving platter. Alternate and fan slices of tomato, grilled zucchini, and slices of prosciutto so each ingredient can be seen. Continue the same process the entire way round the mound of lettuce.
- Place the burrata balls in the center of the lettuce and season the cheese with salt and pepper.
- Place the grilled onions over the entire salad and then sprinkle the whole salad with the dried basil and oregano.
- Top with the shredded Parmesan cheese and chill for at least 30 minutes before serving.
- Drizzle the entire salad with extra virgin olive oil and balsamic vinegar and top with fresh basil leaves (optional) before serving.
