Orzo Salad With Crispy Prosciutto

I have always used prosciutto in sandwiches and pizzas. But crispy prosciutto is a whole new revelation to me. It is crispy, salty, and savory, like crispy bacon but more subtle in flavour and exotic. It adds the necessary crunch to the salad and a whole lot of flavor. Not every salad needs a dressing. Sometimes just seasoning the salad lets the other components shine. EVOO, fresh lemon juice, fresh parmesan, salt, and pepper works as dressing in this recipe. Serve this refreshing salad as a side dish, lunch or dinner with some sourdough bread. Cooked prosciutto you can store for a few days in the refrigerator. After blanching the veggies store it in an airtight container for up to 2-3 days. Serve this is as a side dish with grilled meat, Crispy chicken cutlet, Air fryer crispy chicken breast, BBQ Pork Tenderloin, Skillet Pork Chops .

Storage

Leftovers can be stored well for a couple of days. If you have served the salad with buratta, try not to mix it with rest of the salad for the salad to store well.
