Arugula Salad With Chopped Egg and Prosciutto image

This salad mimics a traditional salad favored in Switzerland called nüsslisalat mit ei, featuring clusters of mâche (a.k.a. lamb's lettuce or corn salad). Arugula is easier to find in North America, sold as baby arugula or as "wild" arugula, which has jagged leaves. Larger leaves of garden arugula or baby spinach, or a combination, would also work.

Time 15m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

6 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
3 tablespoons red wine vinegar or sherry vinegar
Kosher salt and black pepper
8 ounces arugula (about 4 large handfuls), washed and dried
4 (8-minute) boiled eggs, cooled in ice water and peeled
8 thin slices prosciutto (3 ounces), optional

Steps:

  • Make the vinaigrette: In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil and vinegar. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
  • Divide arugula among 4 large plates. Using the large holes of a box grater, grate 1 egg over the center of each salad. (Alternatively, press the egg through a wide-meshed sieve or hand-chop.)
  • Sprinkle each salad very lightly with salt. Whisk the dressing again and drizzle about 1 1/2 tablespoons over each salad. Drape 2 slices of prosciutto artfully over each salad, if using, and serve.

Loved this salad! The arugula was fresh and peppery, and the eggs and prosciutto were cooked perfectly. The dressing was also very good.

This salad was a bit too simple for my taste. I would have liked to see more ingredients, such as tomatoes or cucumbers.

This salad was easy to make and very delicious. I used a store-bought dressing, but I think it would be even better with a homemade dressing.

I followed the recipe exactly and the salad turned out great. The arugula was fresh and peppery, the eggs were perfectly cooked, and the prosciutto added a nice salty touch. The dressing was also very good, with a nice balance of vinegar and oil.
