Ingredients
8 grissini breadsticks
8 very thin slices prosciutto
2 teaspoons minced shallot
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon white balsamic vinegar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/3 cup canola oil or olive oil
5 ounces mesclun greens
1/2 cup thinly sliced fennel bulb
1/4 cup pine nuts, toasted
Directions
- Wrap each grissini in a piece of prosciutto, on a slight diagonal to cover as much of the breadstick as possible. Set aside.
- In a medium bowl, mix the shallot, mustard, vinegar, salt, and pepper together. Gradually whisk in the oil in a slow stream. Place the mesclun greens and fennel in a large bowl and toss evenly with the dressing. Distribute among 4 serving plates and sprinkle with pine nuts.
- Take 2 prepared grissini and place them on top of each salad forming an "x". Serve immediately.
- Cook's Note: Grissini are pencil-thin breadsticks that can found at specialty and Italian food markets.
