Quick, healthy and incredibly delicious, I absolutely adore these tiny and perfect bursts of flavor. These little bundles are an out-of-this-world and simple appetizer to bring to a party, or a nice addition to a soup for lunch. I recently made these for a party and they were the crowd favorite, above some more complicated dishes I slaved over. Everybody will love them and you’ll appreciate how simple they are to make!
Zucchini Pinwheels of Prosciutto with Basil
Author: Diana Rodgers
Recipe type: Appetizer
Ingredients
- 2 zucchini
- 1 bunch fresh basil
- 2 packages 8oz of Applegate prosciutto
- 1 lemon
- Toothpicks to hold them together
Instructions
- With a mandoline, slice the zucchini lengthwise.
- Lay down the prosciutto on a plate and place ½ a slice of the prosciutto along the length of the zucchini, then top with two to three leaves of fresh basil.
- Roll up and secure with a toothpick.
- When you’ve done them all, squeeze a lemon over the top of them, just to moisten them a bit with the lemon flavor.
- If you’re making them ahead, cover them with plastic wrap and squeeze the lemon juice no more than 2 hours before serving.
What a great idea! They are so cute and nutritious – best combo in my book 🙂 I just discovered your website through Chowstalker and I’m so glad I did – I am loving it!!
My friend brought these to my house for our New Year’s Eve celebration and they were so delicious! Thanks so much for the recipe.
