Warm Cauliflower and Prosciutto Salad with Chevre
Description
This salad begins by slicing the cauliflower and Brussels sprouts thin to aid even, quick cooking. Prosciutto slices are pan-fried until crisp and set aside to drain excess oil. Vegetables are then sautéed in olive oil, incorporating garlic towards the end for aromatic depth. Crumbled chevre is stirred in during the last minutes of cooking to meld with the warm vegetables, contributing a creamy tang.
Topping the dish with crispy prosciutto adds a salty crunch that contrasts with the tender veggies and soft cheese. Seasoning with salt and black pepper completes the savory profile. This salad can be served warm as a side dish or light main, benefiting from the melding of roasted vegetable flavors and the richness of prosciutto and chevre.
