1/4 pound prosciutto, minced
1 teaspoon Filippo Berio olive oil
2 cups broccoli florets
2 cups cauliflower florets
1/2 cup shredded radicchio leaves
1 small red onion, thinly sliced into rings

Directions

Crisp the prosciutto in a small frying pan in the olive oil. Drain the pieces and set aside.
Blanch the broccoli and cauliflower florets in boiling water for two minutes; drain and place in salad bowl. Let cool, then add remainder of the ingredients.
Whisk the salad dressing together in a small bowl. Pour over the salad and toss well. Crumple up the cooled prosciutto and sprinkle it over the top and serve.
