Bronze and Red Lettuce Salad with Serrano Ham and Goat Cheese Spirals

This sophisticated bronze and red lettuce salad offers a beautiful balance of textures and flavours, making it an ideal starter for a dinner party or a light weekend lunch. The star of the dish is the handmade Serrano ham and goat cheese spirals, which are layered with fresh baby spinach and chilled to create a striking visual effect on the plate. Combined with the earthy crunch of toasted hazelnuts and a bright Sherry vinegar dressing, this salad is as visually impressive as it is delicious.

Using high-quality hazelnut oil adds a delicate, nutty depth that complements the creamy goat cheese and the salty notes of the cured ham. While the recipe requires a little bit of patience for the rolls to set in the fridge, the individual components can be prepared well in advance. This makes it a stress-free option for hosting, allowing you more time to spend with your guests while serving a truly professional-looking dish.

Ingredients for Bronze and Red Lettuce Salad with Serrano Ham and Goat Cheese Spirals

  • 230g soft fresh goat cheese, room temperature

  • 2 tablespoons plus 120ml hazelnut oil or olive oil

  • 1/2 teaspoons finely minced fresh rosemary, divided

  • 1/4 teaspoons finely grated lemon peel

  • 10 thin 7x3 1/2-inch slices Serrano ham or prosciutto (about 200g )

  • 1 cup stemmed baby spinach leaves

  • 3 tablespoons Sherry wine vinegar

  • 3 cucharadas de chalota picada

  • 1 cucharadita de azúcar

  • 10 cups (packed) assorted red and bronze lettuces, coarsely torn

  • 80g chopped husked toasted hazelnuts, divided

Stir goat cheese, 2 tablespoons hazelnut oil, 1/4 teaspoons rosemary, and lemon peel in small bowl to blend. Season lightly with salt and pepper.

Place sheet of plastic wrap on work surface. Place 1 slice ham in centre of plastic. Spread generous 2 tablespoons goat cheese mixture evenly over ham. Place single layer of spinach leaves over cheese mixture. Top spinach with second ham slice. Repeat layering 2 more times. Starting at 1 long side and using plastic wrap as aid, roll up ham jelly-roll style. Place additional ham slice over seam to cover exposed cheese and spinach leaves (roll will be about 1 1/2 to 2 inches in diameter). Wrap tightly in plastic. Repeat with remaining ham, cheese, and spinach to form second roll. Chill until firm, at least 6 hours. (Can be prepared 2 days ahead. Keep chilled.)

Whisk 120ml hazelnut oil, 1/4 teaspoons rosemary, Sherry vinegar, shallot, and sugar in small bowl. Season dressing with salt and pepper.

Toss lettuces with 1/4 cup dressing and 1/4 cup hazelnuts. Mound salad in centre of 8 plates. Unwrap ham rolls. Slice each roll into twelve 1/2-inch-thick rounds. Arrange 3 rounds around each salad; sprinkle salad with remaining nuts, drizzle dressing around salad and over ham rounds, and serve.
