Chocolate Salad Recipe       

Healthy eating doesn’t have to be dull and flavorless. Venchi’s chocolate salad recipe bursts with personality and deliciousness. The best part? You’ll be ticking off your greens requirements and delighting your tastebuds with one bite.  

Salty prosciutto balances with soft mozzarella and fresh strawberries. The Venchi dark chocolate adds a subtle sweetness to the balsamic vinegar. We guarantee you’ll be making this salad on rotation. So you don’t get bored, you can always swap out the fresh mozzarella for other cheeses depending on your preferences. Salty, earthy gorgonzola is a possible option.

Think about the taste of high-quality dark chocolate. It’s not really sweet. More bitter and earthy. So when you’re creating savory chocolate recipes, it’s usually best to opt for dark chocolate—a variety with at least 65% cacao.
