Prosciutto Manchego Grilled Salad

Keto Recipes > Keto Lunch Recipes

Warm salads are always a great way to spice up regular salads. The lettuce in this recipe is grilled to a perfect char on the grill. It is then chopped up into bite sized pieces and topped with an Italian favorite, prosciutto.

As these ingredients are different from your average salad, I knew a light dressing was needed to make sure to this dish is tied together wonderfully. Olive oil, lemon juice, and mayonnaise were my simple ingredients for the dressing, which cuts perfectly through the fresh, warm, grilled lettuce.
