Fresh, light & quick! Don’t be afraid to add blanched asparagus or a thin slice of fresh tuna plus a drop of sirachi!
Fantastic recipe! Perfect as is!
These were tasty… Very light and refreshing.
Cannot go wrong with this appetizer. I’ve served it many times, and it is always a hit!
Yum. Next time I will use less vinegar dressing. It seems to hide the taste of carrots. We might also cut carrots into matchsticks as wel for same reason. My shreds were too short.
A 50-50 hit at the buffet. Some guests loved the salty, tangy flavor. Others thought it was much to salty but that is the nature of the prosciutto. The carrot mixture definitley does not need added salt. I used the bag shredded carrots making this s simple appetizer to put together quickly.
These are fabulous – tasty and light. For those who are not
Familiar with prosciutto, it is very important to buy it from a place where they know
how to slice it properly – which is paper thin.

I liked the idea if it more then the taste. I might try it again some day.
My store did not have prosciutto on the shelf nor fresh basil. Shouldn’t have gone shopping right after Thanksgiving. So I used deli sliced ham (I love prosciutto and I know I will love it with this) I used about a teaspoon of dried basil. It was great even with my substitutions. I can’t wait to try it with prosciutto and fresh basil. I will be making this to take to work to have as a snack.
The uncooked prosciutto was hard to bit through when rolled. Flavors just o.k
