He is risen, alleluia! Why not celebrate with a dish that’s simple and delicious, and of course, features not only meat but possibly the best meat God ever invented: salty pork. Mmm… You can serve the prosciutto either raw or crisped in a frying pan. I crisped it because it makes it easier to cut and adds a little crunch to the salad, but it will be good either way. Use as much or as little of the ingredients as you like. It is just salad, after all.   ![Caprese with prosciutto](https://www.catholicmom.com/hs-fs/hubfs/20220422%20KUllo%20Caprese%20with%20prosciutto.jpg?width=1080&name=20220422%20KUllo%20Caprese%20with%20prosciutto.jpg)   > [Click to tweet: > A simple salad of basil, tomatoes, ham, and cheese for Friday in the Octave of Easter (eat meat today!) #catholicmom](https://ctt.ac/JXi7R) #### Caprese Salad with Prosciutto ##### Ingredients Sliced tomatoes Sliced fresh mozzarella cut into half-moons Kalamata olives Chopped fresh basil Slices of prosciutto, either raw or crisped in a frying pan, cut or torn into bite-sized pieces Balsamic vinegar glaze, store bought ##### DIRECTIONS Lay the tomatoes flat on a plate or serving dish, then layer on the mozzarella and other ingredients.
