A fresh Mediterranean-inspired salad featuring thinly sliced Zucchiolo marinated in citrus, paired with Iberian ham, crunchy nuts and seeds, and a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil.
Ingredients
- 1 Zucchiolo®, thinly sliced
- 2 oz Iberian ham, thinly sliced
- ¼ cup chopped pistachios or almonds
- 1 tbsp mixed seeds
- 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- Juice of 1 orange
- Juice of ½ lemon or lime
- Thin citrus slices, for garnish
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Directions
- Using a mandoline, thinly slice the green and yellow Zucchiolo®. Arrange the slices on a serving plate, creating some height and volume.
- Lightly mash half of the berries to release their juices. Combine with the extra virgin olive oil and season with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
- Top the Zucchiolo® with the remaining berries and thinly sliced chili pepper.
- Drizzle with the berry vinaigrette and finish with toasted sunflower seeds or pine nuts. If desired, garnish with thin strips of orange zest and sun-dried tomato.
