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.

- 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.
- 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.
- 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.

Kiwiberrries look so lovely and cute!
That sounds good, prosciutto is quite tasty!
Another nice and appealing salad!
Your food photos always inspire anyone to eat. It looks so gorgeous!
I think anything prosciutto is a winner, and this dish not only looks great, but I bet it would taste yummy too. Hope you're having a great weekend. hugs-Erika

Looks ever so delicious.
As always, your salad is so pretty and delicious looking. Love the colour.
Look yummy.
Hola Angie. Está ensalada te ha quedado deliciosa. Muy original y rica y con una presentación impecable. Besos y feliz domingo 😘
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.
very appealing.... love kiwi berry....
full of vitamin C...i like kiwi very much...and it's a good idea to use them for gorgeous salad...very nice plating too...
Sounds like the perfect salad for me and so fresh what a treat!
Angie, this is a beautiful salad and I will now be on the lookout for kiwi berries. Bernadette, New Classic Recipe
This is a beautiful and very different salad Angie! I've never used prociutto in a salad, this is a must try!
Jenna
This is such a beautiful salad. I can imagine the flavors and textures as well. I guess kiwi berries don’t need peeling?
Yummy
Judee from http://www.realfoodblogger.com - Your presentation is always spectacular! Such a beautiful salad Angie--
The salad sounds very yummy.
Beautiful blog
Salty and tangy! Great combination for sure :)
I absolutely love this salad, but what most caught my attention are this Kiwiberries, I’ve never seen them before
Have a wonderful day
What a genius combination of flavors, Angie! Love the sweet and savory.
We don't eat pork but it looks nice.
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.
Another elegant and beautiful salad packed with great flavours and textures. And those kiwiberries? Never seen before but my gosh - they look so cute!
...Abrazotes, Marcela
I love it!!.....I love fennel in all dishes....this salad is superior!........Abrazotes, Marcela
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.
Voilà une salade très appétissante !
Doesn't that look good.
All the best Jan
So many great flavors & textures.
Angie, if you had a restaurant the menu would be so creative! I would certainly frequent it! :-) ~Valentina
