Step 1
Place the 4 cups arugula in a large bowl. Drizzle with 2 tbsp olive oil and squeeze the juice of 1 lemon over the top. Toss gently to coat the leaves evenly.
Step 2
Season the arugula with 1/2 tsp black pepper and toss again. Taste and add a pinch of salt if needed, though the prosciutto and Parmesan are salty.
Step 3
Arrange the 4 oz prosciutto slices on a serving platter, folding or draping them loosely. Pile the dressed arugula on top or alongside the prosciutto.
Step 4
Using a vegetable peeler, shave the 2 oz Parmesan into thin strips directly over the salad. Serve immediately, while the arugula is crisp and the prosciutto is at room temperature.
