Is this a healthy recipe?

There have been some concerns over the past few years about processed meats being harmful to people’s health. To put things in perspective, I highly recommend that you read this Forbes article.

Regardless, it’s probably not a bad idea to consume processed meats in moderation. I don’t think anyone would argue that they should be a staple of your diet!

When making prosciutto wrapped mozzarella, I like to use pre-sliced Prosciutto di Parma by Citterio. I get this brand at Trader Joe’s and I believe you can also find it at Costco. The only ingredients are pork and salt. No nitrites or nitrates, not even from natural sources such as celery powder.

It’s always a good idea, when serving this type of snack, to balance things out by also serving some fresh cut vegetables with a tasty and healthy dip such as hummus, ranch, or Greek yogurt dip.

How to serve prosciutto wrapped mozzarella
