Seedless white or black grapes
Extra virgin olive oil
THE’grape salad It is a tasty and appetizing preparation, ideal to offer to your guests as appetizers for a special dinner. With an unusual and original combination, it manages to enclose all the flavors and aromas of autumn: the sweetness of the grapes, in fact, marries perfectly with the flavor of the crispy raw ham and the slightly spicy note of the gorgonzola.
The recipe is very simple to make: just arrange the washed and dried lettuce on the plate, the black and white grapes, cut in half lengthwise, a few pieces of gorgonzola and the strips of ham, browned in a separate pan until golden. super crunchy. All that remains is to complete everything with aemulsion made with extra virgin olive oil, a pinch of salt, a grind of black pepper and a drop of apple cider vinegar.
You will thus obtain an excellent dish also as side or, if completed with a few slices of toasted bread, as single dish light, but balanced and filling. Here we have used a variety of grapes naturally without seeds but, if you can’t find it, that will do just fine any type at your disposal; the lettuce, on the other hand, can be replaced with mixed salad, lamb’s lettuce, radicchio or rocket, for a pleasantly bitter note.
Instead of raw ham, you can use speck or bresaola, while, if you don’t like gorgonzola, semi-mature pecorino or crumbled feta will also work fine; for a more decisive and aromatic flavour, you can usebalsamic vinegar instead of the apple one. Also, to make the dish even richer, you can sprinkle it with walnut kernels chopped, flaked almonds or toasted pine nuts.
