Add salty prosciutto to a peppery rocket salad with sweet chantenay carrots and mustard and you've got a healthy and unusual salad!
Serves: 4
Preparation time: 5 minutes
Cooking time: 30 minutes
What you need:
- 400g Chantenay carrots, scrubbed (leave whole if small; quarter lengthwise if large)
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- ½ tsp Dijon mustard
- 1 tsp runny honey
- 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
- 2 large handfuls of salad leaves, including some rocket
- 4-6 slices prosciutto ham
- Shavings of Parmesan cheese
