Spinach Salad with Sardines and Crispy Prosciutto

Spinach Salad with Sardines and Crispy Prosciutto

Sardines go sophisticated, and add enough heft to call this bright and balanced salad a full meal. Lightly baked strips of prosciutto play beautifully off of tart lemon zest and sweet golden raisins.

Ingredients

    • 1 lemon, zested, plus 3 tablespoons juice
    • 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
    • Coarse salt and freshly ground black pepper
    • 1/4 cup golden raisins

    • 8 cups baby spinach (6 oz)
    • 1 can (4.25 ounces) sardines, packed in olive oil, drained
    • 2 tablespoons freshly minced chives

Directions
