Grated Cabbage Salad with Prosciutto

Here, simple ingredients are given simple preparations – but the flavor of the dish is remarkable.

2 1/2 cup shredded cabbage

4 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil

3 Tbsp red wine vinegar

1 Tbsp Dijon mustard

1/2 tsp salt

5 very thin slices prosciutto (about 2 ounces)

1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper

Combine the cabbage, olive oil, vinegar, mustard, salt and prosciutto; toss well. Stir in the pepper.

Serves 3 or 4 as a first course or side dish.
