Best Fruit And Gorgonzola Salad With Prosciutto Recipes

GREENS WITH PROSCIUTTO, GORGONZOLA AND PEPPERONCINI

Steps:

• In 10-inch nonstick skillet, cook prosciutto over medium-high heat 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Reduce heat to medium. Cook 5 to 10 minutes longer, stirring frequently, until prosciutto becomes mostly crisp. Drain on paper towel.
• In large bowl, place salad greens, arugula, radicchio and vinaigrette; toss to coat. Sprinkle with prosciutto and cheese. Garnish with pepperoncini peppers.

GORGONZOLA AND PROSCIUTTO TORTELLINI SALAD

Steps:

• Slice prosciutto into strips that are 1 inch long and 1/4 inch wide.
• Fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rolling boil; stir in tortellini and return to a boil. Cook uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the tortellini float to the top and the filling is hot, about 3 minutes. Drain and cool under cold running water to stop the cooking process.
• Mix oil, vinegar, garlic, basil, oregano, salt, and pepper together in a jar. Put the lid on the jar and shake into an emulsion.
• Place tortellini, prosciutto, Gorgonzola cheese, bell peppers, and onion in a large bowl. Pour the vinaigrette over the top and toss lightly with 2 large spoons. Enjoy immediately or allow the flavors to meld for 3 to 4 hours in the refrigerator.

BANGIN' BLUE OLIVES WITH PROSCIUTTO

Steps:

• Wrap each cube of gorgonzola with a piece of prosciutto, and use to stuff the olives.
• Combine the panko, smoked paprika, cayenne and some salt and pepper in a bowl. Mix to blend.
• Prepare three plates for breading the olives: one with the flour, one with the beaten egg, and one with the panko mixture. Lightly coat each olive in flour, then dip in egg, and finally roll in breadcrumbs. Set the breaded olives on a sheet of parchment as you go.
• In a heavy pot or Dutch oven, heat 2 to 3 inches of oil to 350 degrees F over moderate heat. Working in batches, fry the olives until golden brown, 1 to 2 minutes. (Watch the olives closely; if cooked for too long, the cheese will begin to ooze out.) With a slotted spoon, transfer the fried olives to a paper-towel-lined plate to drain. Let cool slightly before serving. Garnish with the parsley and Parmesan.

PROSCIUTTO AND GORGONZOLA SALAD

Steps:

• Arrange the melon cubes over the salad and top with the cheese and the prosciutto slices, torn into strips. Scatter the parsley on top and serve.
