I am loving prosciutto right now! So, I decided to crisp some up for a delicious single-serving salad. I paired it with a maple syrup dressing and sprinkled on some crumbly blue cheese. Digging into it, I couldn’t help but think that nothing could be tastier.

For the dressing, I used ‘Can-Natur Sugar-Free Syrup’ which is great because it has zero calories and zero carbs. If you can’t find this syrup, I suggest trying a monk fruit maple syrup, such as Lakanto.

This salad is single serving and a great yet easy meal. You could also split this salad in half and serve as a side salad with a meal for two.

Yields 1 serving of Arugula and Prosciutto Salad

The Preparation

2 cups arugula
3 slices prosciutto
1/4 cup onion, chopped
1/4 cup mushrooms, chopped
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/8 gram blue cheese, crumbled
2 tablespoons low-carb maple syrup

The Execution

1. In a skillet over medium heat, preheat half of the olive oil. Lay the prosciutto slices in the pan and cook until nice and crispy.

2. Drop in your mushrooms and onions, sautéing for 3-5 minutes or until the mushrooms have browned.

3. In a smaller bowl or measuring cup, stir together the remaining olive oil and sugar-free maple syrup.

4. Place the arugula into a bowl.

5. Top your arugula with the prosciutto, mushrooms, onions, and blue cheese.

6. Pour on the maple dressing then toss the salad to serve.
