Ingredients

  1. 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  2. 1/4 cup sour cream
  3. 1 tablespoon chopped capers
  4. 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  5. 1 tablespoon chopped tarragon
  6. 2 teaspoons chopped dill
  7. 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  8. 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  9. 1 clove garlic, pressed
  10. 3 ounces thinly sliced prosciutto
  11. 4 large eggs
  12. 2 heads butter lettuce, leaves removed
  13. 6 ounces Irish Cheddar, sliced
  14. 1 cup pickled sliced beets
  15. 1 cup pickled green beans
  16. 1 cup halved cherry tomatoes
  17. 1 English cucumber, thinly sliced
  18. Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
  2. For the dressing: Combine the mayonnaise, sour cream, capers, lemon juice, tarragon, dill, salt, pepper and garlic in a bowl and whisk together. Set aside.
  3. For the salad: Lay the prosciutto on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake until the edges are starting to brown and crisp, 10 to 12 minutes. Remove and let cool slightly; the prosciutto slices will continue to crisp as they cool.
  4. Meanwhile, put the eggs in a small pot. Add water, covering the eggs by an inch or so. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Remove from the heat, cover with the lid and let sit 7 minutes. Drain and rinse under cold water. Peel and halve each egg, then set aside.
  5. To build the board, transfer the dressing to a serving bowl and place on a large board or platter. Add the butter lettuce in a pile, then arrange the eggs, crispy prosciutto, Irish Cheddar, beets, green beans, tomatoes and cucumbers on the open space of the board. Sprinkle the eggs, cucumbers and tomatoes with a little salt and pepper. Serve.

Love the dressing. It was a little thick so I added a little buttermilk to thin it out. Great way to serve salad at a dinner party.

Loved it! I bought a 30 inch serving board to do this one! We could not find pickled green beans so I added some hearts of palm and asparagus! It’s filling with the pancetta and cheese! We will def do this again!
