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.
