GERMAN ROMAINE SALAD WITH WESTPHALIAN VINAIGRETTE



German Romaine Salad With Westphalian Vinaigrette image

This salad uses chilled, crisp lettuce and a vinaigrette that is heated. It would be best to use Westphalian ham, a dry cured smoked ham. If that is unavailable, any prosciutto type ham will do.
