Yield Makes 6 first-course servings

Number Of Ingredients 21

For tapenade
1 cup brine-cured black olives (such as Kalamata; about 5 ounces), pitted
1/2 cup raisins
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
3 canned anchovy fillets, drained
2 medium shallots, sliced
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon fennel seeds
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/2 cup olive oil
For dressing
5 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1/4 cup (packed) grated Parmesan cheese
3 tablespoons coarse-grained Dijon mustard
2 tablespoons finely chopped drained canned anchovy fillets
2 tablespoons finely chopped drained capers
2 tablespoons chopped garlic
1 cup olive oil
3 hearts of romaine lettuce, torn into pieces
4 ounces thin prosciutto slices, cut crosswise into strips
Pecorino Romano cheese shavings

Steps:

  • Make tapenade:
  • Blend olives, raisins, parsley, anchovies, shallots, lemon juice, fennel seeds and cayenne in processor until almost smooth, occasionally scraping down sides of bowl. With machine running, add oil and process until blended. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
  • Make dressing:
  • Whisk lemon juice, Parmesan, mustard, anchovies, capers and garlic in medium bowl until well blended. Gradually whisk in oil. Season with salt and pepper. (Tapenade and dressing can be made 2 days ahead. Cover separately and refrigerate. Bring to room temperature before using.)
  • Place lettuce in large bowl. Toss with enough dressing to coat generously. Divide lettuce among 6 plates. Dot perimeter of each plate with teaspoonfuls of tapenade. Top each salad with prosciutto and cheese and serve.

This salad was delicious! The tapenade dressing was very flavorful and the prosciutto added a nice salty touch. I would definitely make this again.

This salad was a bit too salty for my taste. I think I would use less salt in the tapenade dressing next time. Otherwise, it was a good salad.

I thought this salad was just okay. The tapenade dressing was a bit too salty for my taste and the prosciutto was a bit too chewy. I probably wouldn't make this again.

This salad was a bit too rich for my taste. The dressing was very thick and creamy. I would recommend using less mayonnaise in the dressing if you're not a fan of rich food.
