Prosciutto, Goat Cheese, and Asparagus Salad with buttermilk dressing and fresh corn

(from castro15’s recipe box)

Categories: Salad

Ingredients

  • 1 Ear of Corn
  • 4 oz. Asparagus
  • 6 Chives
  • 41/2 oz. Heirloom Cherry Tomatoes
  • 4 oz. Prosciutto
  • 1 fl. oz. Buttermilk
  • 1 oz. Mayonnaise
  • 4 oz. Baby Arugula
  • 1 oz. Goat Cheese

Directions

  1. Shuck corn, remove silk, and carefully remove kernels from cob. Trim woody ends off asparagus. Cut into 2" lengths on an angle. Mince chives. Halve tomatoes.

  2. Line a plate with paper towels. Place a large non-stick pan over medium heat. Working in batches, add 1 tsp. olive oil to hot pan, and spread prosciutto into a single layer. Cook until browned and crispy, 2-4 minutes per side. Transfer prosciutto to towel-lined plate. Repeat with remaining prosciutto. Reserve pan; no need to wipe clean.

  3. Return pan used to crisp prosciutto to medium heat. Add corn, asparagus, ¼ tsp. salt, and a pinch of pepper. Stir occasionally until corn is lightly browned, 3-4 minutes. Asparagus will still be a little crunchy. Remove from burner and set aside.

  4. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together buttermilk, mayonnaise, chives, 2 tsp. olive oil, ¼ tsp. salt, and ¼ tsp. pepper.

  5. Add arugula, tomatoes, corn, and asparagus to bowl with dressing and toss to coat. Alternatively, serve dressing on side to control amount.

  6. Place salad on plate and top with goat cheese (breaking up with your hands if needed) and crispy prosciutto. Break up prosciutto before plating if desired.
