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.

This salad is a great way to get your daily dose of vegetables. The arugula is packed with nutrients and the eggs and prosciutto are a good source of protein.

I love the combination of flavors in this salad. The arugula is peppery, the eggs are creamy, and the prosciutto is salty. It's a perfect balance of flavors.

I added some chopped avocado to this salad and it was even better! The avocado added a creamy texture and a bit of extra flavor.

This salad is a great way to use up leftover hard-boiled eggs. It's also a healthy and refreshing option for a light lunch or dinner.

I'm not a huge fan of arugula, but I really enjoyed this salad. The dressing was light and flavorful and the prosciutto added a nice touch of saltiness.

This salad was delicious! I used fresh arugula from my garden and it was so flavorful. The combination of the arugula, eggs, and prosciutto was perfect. I will definitely be making this salad again.
