This is a great appetizer! So easy and so good, these pretty bundles can be assembled in minutes.
Prosciutto-Wrapped Greens
Serves 8
(Recipe from fine cooking)
3 Tbs. extra-virgin olive oil
2 tsp. red wine vinegar
2 tsp. fresh lemon juice
1/2 tsp. Dijon mustard
1/4 lb. mesclun or arugula, washed and spun dry
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
2Tbs. freshly grated ground black pepper
2 Tbs. freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano
12 thin slices proscuitto
In a small bowl, whisk the olive oil, vinegar, lemon juice, and mustard. Put the mesclun or argula in a medium bowl and season with a generous pinch of salt and pepper. add the Parmigiano to the greens and gently toss with just enough of the vinaigrette to coat the greens lightly. Taste for salt and pepper.
Set a slice of prosciutto on a work surface and put a small handful of greens at the narrow end of the meat. Squeeze the greens together and roll the proscuitto into a tight log. Cut the log into 2-inch pieces on the diagonal (two or three pieces, depending on the width of the proscuitto). Repeat with the remaining proscuitto and greens and serve.
Enjoy!

Such an easy, pretty and wholesome appetizer for the upcoming holidays...
Beautiful appetizer. Love prosciutto and arugula together.
Oh how lovely and delicious! Using prosciutto is a great idea. I usually use bacon, but the wider pieces of prosciutto would make things a lot easier!
Prosciutto...I have been meaning to give these a try by wrapping them around stuffed chicken. But this one looks even better and easier to make too. Fabulous. Now I have something to try my hands on :)
oh yummy and easy to make great pic
We love prosciutto..This is lovely~WE also really like arugula w/ these combinations..
This looks like a great appetizer! I love the spicy flavors of arugula and dijon mustard, it pairs well with prosciutto!
i LOVE proscuitto! this looks amazing!
Another good appetizer you can make with proscuitto is wrapped around melon (like cantaloupe).
I love proscuitto. It looks great.
Sounds like a terrific appetizer! I love the combo of arugula & prosciutto!
This is a beautiful platter...I have never thought of putting the arugula and proscuitto together. This is a definite keeper for me to use over the holidays!
prosciutto is amazing... so many things you can wrap... These look terrific
These are gorgeous! Looks like a really elegant recipe!
This looks like something I could potentially attempt. Thanks. :-)
But I am just wondering: do you by any chance know any easy recipe for preparing collard greens? I once had a simple dish that was just spicy greens and I couldn't get it out of my mind...
What a creative appetizer! I am always looking for new appie recipes, so thank-you!
Beautiful, Easy & Delicious! Perfect!
Thanks for stopping by my blog! I hope you will give the "Green Tomato Cake" a try. It is even better the second day....I almost have to throw it away so I will stop eating it all...lol
Stay Cozy, Carrie
Beautiful presentation! And what a different and delicious appetizer. Thank you so much for sharing this. I would love to make this for my next party!
As usual, the simple things are undoubtedly the most delicious. Will definitely give those a try, a nice start to a meal, or a light lunch.
This is a nice alternative to proscuitto wrapped asparagus! :D
This is so aesthetically pleasing and makes for a great presentation.
Yum! So easy...they look delicious! I do something similar with salami, goat cheese, arugula and balsamic vinegar.
ooo that is the perfect appetizer for when you don't have a ton of time to bake anything! It looks delicious! And I bet it's extra good paired with that cheese next to it, yum!
oh yum. My favorite things all wrapped up.
Now this is an appetizer I can heartily approve of! Anything wrapped in salty pork is a winner in my book!
so fresh and pretty! what a great party food!
I'm going to have to echo everyone else here - so pretty! And perfect for the holidays! Can't wait to try it!
Absolutely gorgeous! Love this (and the fact that my arugula returned - now that's a mystery!). So will try - it is so pretty! (And delicious)
Gimme enough time and enough wine to go with.. and I could eat up that whole plate!
Ooh, yum! Would it be bad to eat all of these by myself for lunch?
Yummy Yummy Yummy, I want this in my tummy!
Bet the combination of these 2 items is just delicious!! Great pairing.
Sounds great and lovely pics!

I think you could wrap anything in prosciutto and it would be good! I wrapped peaches recently and they were great. This sounds fantastic too.
Gorgeous dish!

Prosciutto wraps make a perfect buffet appetizers. I love them with honey dew melon.

These look wonderful, Velva. The colors are lovely and I do love arugula with prosciutto. Of course, the dressing sets it off perfectly.
These look so fresh and delicious....can't get much easier than this! You have lots of great recipes here!
Delicious - and I am not the only who thinks so!
I want to come to your house for appetizers! These look so terrific!
asparagus is in season here now, i might get some to do the same!!
My my...yummy, tasty and easy. That's a classy looking dish there. Nice one Velva!
OK....Just stop would ya?
I am lying in bed...perfectly ready to go to sleep...and I have a need to whip out to the local 24 hour grocery and get procuitto.
Stop me.
Do a post about liver...or steak and kidney pie. That should work!
Not only that this looks easy to do, it looks super delish and fabulous. Gotta try this one soon. Thanks for sharing.
I've done that with asparagus but not greens. I like that idea. I bet these are tasty bites.
I have enough turkey slices for two or three meals. One of them can be this and I would be happy.
