Recipe preparation steps
-
1
Prepare the dressing by blending the strawberries to a purée.

Microwave about 3 tablespoons of water in a small bowl or cup until it is quite hot but not boiling and steep the seasonings in it.

3
Allow to cool a little and add this mix to the strawberry.
-
4
Purée (if the strawberries were chilled you can combine it all together right off).
-
5
Cut the carrot lengthwise carefully and fashion a long spear which you pass through appropriately cut holes in the bases of carefully separated witlof leaves which you arrange to make like the Opera House sails; store this garnish in cold water until you need it
-
6
Styling: Arrange your salad on a platter and set the garnish in place.
-
7
Scatter the accompaniments around the salad including the slices of proscuitto and pour on the dressing generously before finishing with the croutons.
-

Obviously leave these and possibly the garnish as well if you are preparing the salad way ahead of time, although if you carefully plastic wrap the all-but-croutoned salad, it will be fine; just add the croutons prior to serving.
