Do you know what day it is? Today is actually International Picnic Day, and what could be better than to celebrate with a group of bloggers from the Sunday Supper family?
We chose dishes that corresponded to a letter of the alphabet, made our dish, and added it to a big virtual picnic basket. This group sure knows how to have some fun! Drop by the Sunday Supper Movement to see the whole picnic spread out on our virtual blanket.
So, I’m going on a picnic with my friends today and want you to come along and enjoy all the delicious food!

I’m bringing… Northern Bean Salad with Egg and Prosciutto that is just perfect for a picnic. The best part about it, is that the simple olive oil and lemon dressing mixed with the beans serves as a salad dressing. It can be added right before serving so that the lettuce doesn’t get mushy!
Ingredients
- 16 ozs great northern beans (rinsed and drained)
- 2 tbsp sliced green onions
- 1 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
- 1/4 tsp sea salt
- 1/4 tsp fresh ground pepper
- 3 cups spring lettuce mix (rinsed and drained)
- 2 hard boiled eggs, sliced
- 2 tbsp chopped fresh prosciutto or ham
Instructions
- Combine all ingredients in a bowl except the lettuce, eggs and prosciutto and refrigerate for at least an hour.
- When ready to serve, combine the lettuce with the bean mixture.
- Add the sliced egg and sprinkle with the chopped prosciutto or ham.

A lovely salad! Smiling because I know how much you like prosciutto. I need to put this in my next recipe!
Simplicity and fresh ingredients truly feels like good eating. And greens, olive oil and eggs are all healthy gifts we give to our family, yes?
Your salad is so beautiful, Isabel! I love the beans and eggs for added protein. It’s the perfect summer meal!
I want this nestled in my picnic basket right alongside a bottle of white wine and a loaf of bread – perfection!
Gorgeous salad…and with prosciutto! I will take any excuse I can get to make a trip to my local Italian market!
Loving the addition of beans in this salad! Brilliant!
I’m always looking for a recipe that uses beans! And I need to have more prosciutto in my life. 🙂
