How To Make Cucumber, Almond & Prosciutto Salad

SERVES: 2

This may sound like a basic salad, and it is, but it’s the mix of ingredients that makes it extra special. We’ve thrown in a combo of vegetables and fruit plus some salty prosciutto and acidic lemon to produce a multi-layered flavour sensation.

If you’re vego, leave out the prosciutto and replace with some salty feta, buffalo mozzarella or a little extra sea salt.

It would also taste great with flaked ocean trout, some olives or poached chook. Yeew!

We’d love to hear your thoughts. Make sure you pop them in the comments below.
