Preparation

Heat butter or tallow in a skillet over medium heat. Add prosciutto slices in a single layer and cook 1–2 minutes per side until crisp. Transfer to a paper towel–lined plate to cool.

Place chopped kale in a large bowl. Drizzle with lemon juice, olive oil, and a small pinch of salt.

Massage the kale gently with your hands for 1–2 minutes until it softens and darkens in color.

Add grated Parmesan and black pepper, tossing to combine.

Break the crispy prosciutto into pieces and sprinkle over the salad.

Add nuts if desired, toss lightly, and serve immediately. Pair with your favorite protein for a complete meal.
