Categories     < 15 Mins

Time 15m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 (14 1/2 ounce) can cannellini beans, drained and rinsed
4 ounces thinly sliced prosciutto, cut into thin strips
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon finely chopped fresh rosemary
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
3 tablespoons red wine vinegar
3 tablespoons fresh grated parmigiano-reggiano cheese
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper

Steps:

  • Saute prosciutto strips in olive oil until crispy. Add rosemary and thyme and continue sauteeing for 1 minute to release the fragrant oils.
  • In a medium serving bowl, combine vinegar, salt and pepper. Add beans and stir to combine. Add prosciutto and herb mixture with the olive oil and stir again to combine. The oil will complete your vinaigrette so that the vinegar will adhere to your beans. Then add your parmigiana and stir one last time to combine. Serve at room temperature.
  • This dish is best prepared before your other dishes and allowed to sit for 30 minutes or so, but that's not necessary.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh and crisp vegetables: The quality of your ingredients will greatly impact the flavor of your salad. Look for daikon and fennel bulbs that are firm and heavy, with no signs of bruising or wilting.
  • Use a sharp knife: A sharp knife will help you cut the vegetables into thin, even slices. This will ensure that they cook evenly and absorb the dressing better.
  • Don't overcook the vegetables: Daikon and fennel should be cooked just until they are tender-crisp. Overcooking will make them mushy and bland.
  • Use a flavorful dressing: The dressing is what brings all the flavors of the salad together. Be sure to use a dressing that is well-balanced and complements the flavors of the vegetables.
  • Serve the salad immediately: This salad is best enjoyed fresh. The vegetables will start to wilt if they sit for too long.

Conclusion:

This daikon and fennel salad is a refreshing and flavorful side dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. So next time you are looking for a healthy and delicious salad, give this recipe a try.
