Red-Leaf, Fig, and Serrano Ham Salad Recipe

Red-Leaf, Fig, and Serrano Ham Salad Recipe

  • 1 head radicchio or radicchio rosso
  • 8 cups baby ruby chard or a couple of bags of salad with red-toned tender leaves
  • 2 teaspoons sherry vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • pinch of salt
  • 8 fresh figs, quartered
  • 10 oz Serrano ham slices, cut very thinly
  • 2 oz Manchego cheese, shaved into slices
  1. Tear the head of radicchio into manageable pieces, and toss together with the baby salad leaves.
  2. Whisk together the vinegar, oil, and salt in a small bowl and then dress the leaves.
  3. Arrange the figs and ham as artistically as you can muster over the salad and then, with a potato peeler, shave the cheese over, letting it fall lightly where it will.
