Vincenzo’s Top Tips To Make Bresaola Salad

Be careful in squeezing!

When squeezing more fresh lemon, be careful not to let the seeds fall in!

A good amount of flakes

Grate a good amount of Parmigiano Reggiano flakes  and making sure you’re letting the crumbs fall onto the salad too.

Glaze over the top

Make sure to add another layer of balsamic glaze over the top of your salad, in this way, your dish will be more colourful and give an even bolder flavour.

Instructions

  • Wash the parsley well and then chop into small pieces (If you are using arugula just leave it whole).
  • Pour 4-5 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil into a jar and the same amount of balsamic vinegar.
  • Squeeze the juice of half a lemon into the jar, put the lid on and shake it together really well.
  • Put the parsley into the mixing bowl and add the dressing, mixing it together with your hands.
  • Get a flat, round plate (or chopping board) and start layering the Bresaola in a circle on the outer part of the plate.
  • Add another layer and then another, until there are no white gaps.
  • Using your hands, sprinkle some of the parsley mix over the top, creating a small heap in the centre.
  • Grate some Parmigiano Reggiano flakes over the top, making them uneven and letting the crumbs fall onto the salad too.
  • Squeeze more fresh lemon over the top, being careful not to let the seeds fall in!
  • If you want to add another layer of richness, drizzle some balsamic glaze over the top of the Bresaola Salad. Not only will it make the dish even more colourful, it will give it an even bolder flavour.
  • E ora si mangia, Vincenzo’s Plate….Enjoy!

How to Serve Bresaola Salad

To serve the Bresaola Salad, start by placing a handful of mixed greens or arugula on a plate or a shallow serving dish. Arrange the slices of bresaola on top of the greens, making sure to layer them nicely. Add shaved Parmesan cheese and lemon wedges to the plate.

Drizzle with extra virgin olive oil and a squeeze of lemon juice, and sprinkle with chopped parsley. Serve immediately as a light and refreshing antipasto dish or a healthy main course salad.
