This refreshing Bresaola with Egg Ribbons and green apple salad makes a fantastic lunch or side dish for the warm weather.

Bresaola is a typical Italian  air-dried salted beef very tender and lean, and packed with proteins. It's usually served paper-thin with rocket salad and shaved Parmesan cheese.

This is one of the quickest recipes you can find, it takes a little less than 5 mins to make it. 

I've decided to swap the cheese with extra proteins by adding a very thin sliced "omelette" ( just egg, no cheese, milk or butter).

I've also added a finely cubed Granny Smith apple, hidden beneath a nest baby salad leaves, to give a crunchy & refreshing texture to the dish. 

Serve it as a main course for a quick lunch or dinner, but it also makes elegant antipasti if you have guests coming over.
