Light Summer Delight

This photo shows a caprese salad with crispy prosciutto, from a cookbook by swimsuit model Chrissy Teigen and styled by Sarah Abrams, at the Institute of Culinary
Education in New York. Adapted by Elizabeth Karmel from Teigen’s “Cravings: Recipes for All the Food You Want to Eat,” the salad calls for tomatoes in different
shapes and sizes - some slices, some wedges - served with arugla and crunchy, hammy, prosciutto crisps.
