Romaine Salad with Prosciutto Crisps

Romaine Salad with Prosciutto Crisps

The small inner leaves of romaine lettuce are tender and crisp, perfect for this salad. Use a vegetable peeler to shave the Pecorino Romano.
Cook Time 10 minutes
Servings: 4

Ingredients
  

  • 2 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil plus more for pan
  • 4 slices prosciutto about 2 ounces

  • freshly ground pepper to taste
  • 6 oz hearts of romaine leaves torn in half
