Prosciutto Fennel Salad with Hazelnuts and Kiwiberries

Simple, slightly tangy salads work so well with prosciutto. This fresh shaved fennel, prosciutto crudo, hazelnuts, and Parmesan salad recipe is great served for a light yet satisfying lunch or light side dish. Substitute the shaved fennel with celery, arugula or Brussel sprouts if you don't like anise or licorice flavour in fennel.
Blanched hazelnuts are shelled hazelnuts that are blanched in boiling water to remove the skin. Use other nuts (walnuts or almonds) if you like.
Kiwiberries (aka cocktail kiwi and grape kiwi) are like mini kiwifruit with smooth green skin. This grape-sized fruit, native to China and Korea, similar to kiwifruit in taste and appearance and are rich in vitamins C and E and naturally low in fat, cholesterol and sodium. They’re also an excellent source of fiber, magnesium and potassium.

 
  • 50 g Blanched hazelnuts, toasted and roughly chopped
  • 1 bulb / 300 g Fennel, thinly shaved
  • 1 tbsp Freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 2 tbsp Extra-virgin olive oil
  • Salt and black pepper
  • 1 tbsp Flat parsley, roughly chopped
  • 100 g Prosciutto crudo
  • 100 g Kiwiberries, halved
  • Parmigiano Reggiano, freshly grated
  1. Preheat the oven to 190C/375F. Roast a hazelnuts on a baking tray for approximately 10 minutes or until lightly golden. Remove from the oven and allow to cool.
  2. Remove the fronds from the fennel bulb and set aside. Cut away any tough stalks, then thinly slice the bulb using a sharp knife or ideally a mandolin. Tip the thinly shaved fennel into a medium bowl along with lemon juice, olive oil, and a large pinch of salt. Toss to coat. Now mix in chopped parsley and the reserved fennel fronds.
  3. Arrange prosciutto on a serving plate. Mount the shaved fennel salad over the prosciutto, top with roughly chopped roasted hazelnuts, halved kiwiberries, freshly grated Parmigiano Reggiano, and freshly cracked black pepper.

Esta ensalada es salud en la mesa. El jamón se consume en casa, pero en ensaladas no lo pongo apenas. Esos kiwis mini no los conocía, por aquí no los he visto, estaré más atenta porque son una monada.
Un beso.

This is such a beautiful salad. I can imagine the flavors and textures as well. I guess kiwi berries don’t need peeling?

I love your use of prosciutto to layer at the bottom and the small kiwi. I'm not familiar with this small version of kiwi but it's so cute in the small look. I just love a large salad for lunch (I just finished one!). I try to explore new combinations and love hearing about one I'd never considered.

OMG! I have to try this recipe, I think I have gone to heaven, whether I use fennel or arugula - or maybe both??

I have to admit that I have never seen kiwiberries over here in the UK, so I wonder if I could get away with slicing a full sized kiwi more finely, or substituting with grapes?

Fantastic recipe :)

This salad recipe looks delicious and easy to make! I love the combination of shaved fennel, prosciutto crudo, hazelnuts, and Parmesan. Thanks for the tip on substituting the fennel with celery, arugula, or Brussels sprouts if we don't like the anise or licorice flavor.
