Beef bresaola is beef inside round cured in a style similar to
prosciutto. If bresaola is not available, prosciutto makes a delicious
substitute.
Beef Bresaola Salad with Balsamic Strawberries
1 pint fresh strawberries
3 tbsp balsamic vinegar
6 oz thinly sliced beef bresaola
4 cups loosely packed baby arugula
2 oz Parmesan cheese
Extra virgin olive oil, for drizzling
Freshly ground black pepper
1) Wash and trim the stems of the strawberries and slice them into a bowl. Toss berries with balsamic vinegar and set aside while arranging salad. The strawberries can be prepared up to 4 hours ahead and chilled.
2) To assemble salad, arrange bresaola to cover the bottom of 4 salad plates. Top with arugula and shave Parmesan over the salad plate using a vegetable peeler. Spoon the strawberries, including the balsamic overtop of the salad. Drizzle the plates with olive oil and finish with a little black pepper before serving.
Serves 4
