(Serves 2 / Cooking time: 5 minutes)

Ingredients
6 Chicory leaves
6 slices of prosciutto
3 pieces of cherry mozzarella cheese
1/4 pack of daikon sprouts (kaiware daikon)
Olive oil to taste

Instructions
Spread the cured ham and roll up 1/6th of the daikon sprouts on each side. Cut the mozzarella cheese in half.

Top the chicory with the prosciutto-covered daikon sprouts and mozzarella cheese. Drizzle with olive oil.

Tips
Immediately after removing the leaves, soak the chicory to cold water to prevent discoloration.
