Artichoke, Fennel, and Crispy Prosciutto Salad

This elegant artichoke, fennel and crispy prosciutto salad is a sophisticated choice for those seeking a light yet flavourful meal. The combination of earthy fresh artichokes and the aniseed notes of thinly sliced fennel creates a crisp, refreshing base. By using a sharp Dijon and herb vinaigrette, the natural sweetness of the vegetables is perfectly balanced, while the saltiness of the fried prosciutto adds a satisfying textural contrast.

Regarded as a diabetes-friendly dish, this salad is high in fibre and heart-healthy fats, making it an excellent option for a nutritious lunch or a dinner party starter. You can prepare most of the components up to two hours in advance, allowing the flavours to develop while you focus on your guests. Serve with a final flourish of chopped fennel fronds for a professional finish.
