Plt Salad

Ingredients

• 7 ounces mixed salad greens (10 cups)
• 4 tomatoes
• cored and cut into wdges
• 12 cup fresh herb
• snipped (try a mix of parsley
• chives
• chervil
• tarragon)
• 12 cup extra virgin olive oil
• 6 slices prosciutto
• cut into 1/2-inch strips (get thin sliced from the deli - 3 oz)
• 2 garlic cloves
• smashed and peeled
• 6 -7 ounces day old French bread
• cubed
• 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leave
• chopped
• kosher salt
• fresh ground black pepper
• 4 teaspoons fresh lemon juice

Instructions

1. Place the lettuce, tomatoes, and herbs in a large serving bowl.
2. In a large skillet, heat half the oil over medium heat; crisp the prosciutto, stirring frequently, until slightly darkened, 4 to 5 minutes; remove with tongs and drain on paper towels.
3. Add the garlic to the skillet and cook, turning, until golden brown, about 1 minute, and discard (fooled you - it is just used to flavor the oil); add the bread and thyme and cook, stirring occasionally, until crisp and golden brown, 4 to 5 minutes.
4. Season the bread with salt and pepper and toss it, along with the prosciutto, into the salad bowl.
5. Drizzle the salad with the remaining oil and lemon juice; toss well and season with salt and pepper.
