Tomato and Burrata Salad with Prosciutto

Let’s have a final summer fling with this Tomato and Burrata Salad with Prosciutto. I threw in the greens and prosciutto to give the classic tomato salad a little more heft and substance.

Sure you can skip the prosciutto but if you have meat eaters in your family like I do, that doesn’t usually go over too well. Salads without protein in my house are just that, a salad—with the expectation that a main entree will follow.

But for those days when I hardly even have time to sit and eat lunch, much less time to turn out a salad and entrée, I turn to time-saving salads like this.
