This brie and prosciutto salad is full of delicious flavors and comes together in no time. Roasted bell peppers, toasted pecans, and a homemade Italian dressing really take this salad to the next level.
This salad is one of those that always feels really fancy and decadent but is really easy to make. I mean adding brie and prosciutto to anything really ups the wow factor.

It’s that simple.
How to make the prosciutto salad?

- Thinly slice your onion, and cut your brie and prosciutto into small pieces.

Best Tips for a Tasty Salad
#1: Brie & Prosciutto is cheapest from places such as Costco or Sam’s Club. Also, if you have and Aldi grocery store check there.
#2: This salad is best eaten the same day you make it.
#3: Store any leftover dressing or salad in the refrigerator. The dressing will stay good for at least a week so enjoy it on any other salad or use it for a marinade!

Notes
- You can always add more or less of any of the ingredients.
- I like to make the dressing in a mason jar because it’s easy to shake the dressing before pouring, however you can also add all the ingredients to a bowl and whisk them together before pouring onto the salad.
- The dressing will naturally separate so just shake or stir before adding to your salad.
- Refrigerate any leftover salad or dressing. The salad is best eaten the same day.
