Spinach Salad with Sardines and Crispy Prosciutto image

Sardines go sophisticated, and add enough heft to call this bright and balanced salad a full meal. Lightly baked strips of prosciutto play beautifully off of tart lemon zest and sweet golden raisins.

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 lemon, zested, plus 3 tablespoons juice
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
Coarse salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup golden raisins
2 ounces thinly sliced prosciutto, torn into 3-inch pieces
8 cups baby spinach (6 oz)
1 can (4.25 ounces) sardines, packed in olive oil, drained
2 tablespoons freshly minced chives

Steps:

  • Whisk lemon juice and 3 tablespoons oil in a small bowl. Season with salt and pepper and stir in raisins.
  • Heat oven to 400 degrees. On a rimmed baking sheet, arrange prosciutto in a single layer and brush with remaining tablespoon oil. Bake, rotating halfway through, until crisp and deep golden brown, about 9 minutes.
  • Arrange spinach on a platter and top with sardines, prosciutto, lemon zest, and chives. Drizzle with dressing and adjust seasoning as necessary.
