Instructions:

Begin by preparing all salad ingredients. Rinse the spring salad mix under cold water and dry it using a salad spinner or by patting it dry with paper towels. This helps guarantee the salad remains crisp.

In a large mixing bowl, add the spring salad mix, prosciutto, pepperoni, olives, and red onion. If you're using optional toppings like parmesan cheese or peperoncinis, add them to the bowl as well.

Drizzle your choice of vinaigrette or creamy Italian dressing over the salad mixture. Start with a small amount, as you can always add more later to taste.

Gently toss the salad using tongs or your hands, making sure that all ingredients are well combined and coated with the dressing.

Serve immediately on individual plates or in a large bowl for sharing. If desired, garnish with extra parmesan cheese or whole peperoncinis for added presentation.

For best results while preparing your prosciutto salad, consider chilling the salad ingredients and dressing beforehand. This helps maintain freshness and enhances the flavors of the salad.

Additionally, feel free to experiment with different greens, cheeses, or dressings to create your personalized version of a prosciutto salad. Enjoy the versatility and creativity that these salads offer!
