Ingredients

  1. 1 tablespoon plus 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
  2. 8 slices prosciutto, sliced into 1/2-inch ribbons
  3. 3 large zucchini, ends trimmed, sliced lengthwise
  4. 1 large bulb fennel, very finely sliced, plus 2 tablespoons chopped fronds
  5. Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
  6. 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  7. 1 clove garlic, crushed
  8. Zest and juice of 1 lemon
  9. 1/2 cup shaved pecorino
  10. 2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Heat the 1 tablespoon olive oil in a skillet over low heat. Saute the prosciutto, stirring, until crispy, 7 to 10 minutes. Transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate to drain.
  2. Place the zucchini and fennel in a colander and sprinkle lightly with salt. Toss to coat evenly. Set aside for 5 minutes to allow the vegetables to soften and become pliable, then transfer to a large bowl.
  3. Whisk the 1/4 cup olive oil, fennel fronds, mustard, garlic, lemon zest and juice, and some salt and pepper in a bowl. Dress the vegetables. Serve topped with the pecorino and sprinkled with chives.

Made this today to use up some of my CSA bounty. The salad was super light and flavorful (and easy!). The prosciutto definitely gives it a nice twist. I used asiago because that’s what I had on hand, and it wa s delish.

Very tasty! Not a heavy zucchini or fennel flavor. My non- zucchini eaters even liked it!
