Time 15m

Yield Two main-course or four first-course servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

3/4 cup sun-dried tomatoes, not oil-packed
4 cups mixed salad greens
8 thin slices prosciutto, cut across into thin strips
2 teaspoons balsamic vinegar
2 teaspoons olive oil
1/2 teaspoon salt
Freshly ground pepper to taste
8 1/2-inch slices Tuscan-style bread, halved
8 thin slices smoked mozzarella

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Place tomatoes in a small saucepan and cover with water. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer until softened, about 5 minutes. Drain. In a large bowl, toss together tomatoes, salad greens and prosciutto.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together the vinegar, oil, salt and pepper. Place the bread on a baking sheet and top each piece with a slice of mozzarella. Bake until the cheese is melted, about 5 minutes.
  • Toss the salad with the dressing and divide between 2 or 4 plates. Divide the croutes between the plates and serve immediately.
