Ingredients

  • 1-2 heads red radicchio depending on the size
  • 2-3 large balls fresh mozzarella torn into large chunks
  • 1 blood orange cut into supremes and reserve the juice for the vinaigrette
  • 1 cara cara orange cut into supremes and reserve the juice for the vinaigrette
  • 6 thin slices of prosciutto

Lemon Herb Dressing

  • 1 lemon juiced
  • reserved juice from the supremed citrus
  • 3 tablespoons red wine vinegar
  • 6 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 shallot finely minced
  • 2 cloves garlic finely minced
  • Kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper to taste
  • 1 teaspoon fresh thyme finely chopped

Instructions

For the Prosciutto

  • Heat oven to 400 degrees and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Lay the prosciutto slices on a rimmed baking sheet. Bake until the slices start to shrivel and turn golden, 10-12 minutes. Keep your eye on it, as the prosciutto can go from crisp to burned quickly. Cool on the rack until crispy. Tear into pieces for the salad.

For the Salad

  • Arrange the radicchio into a large serving bowl. Tuck the torn prosciutto and mozzarella into the leaves along with the citrus. Drizzle the vinaigrette on top before serving.

For the Dressing

  • Combine all the ingredients, including the leftover citrus juice from the salad, in a small bowl and whisk until emulsified. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.

Notes

  • This salad would be great served alongside steak, chicken, or fish.
 
  • This salad is best served when prepared.
