salt

12 ounces trimmed haricots verts

3 ounces thinly sliced proscuitto

1 tablespoon olive oil

3 tablespoons red wine vinegar

1/2 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme

1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes

Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Boil the haricots verts until crisp-tender, about 4 minutes. Drain in a colander and cool under cold running water. Pat dry.

Put the proscuitto and oil in a skillet and cook over medium heat, stirring often, until crisp, 5 to 7 minutes. Transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate to cool. Add the vinegar, thyme, pepper flakes and a pinch of salt to the skillet and whisk until emulsified, about 1 minute. Add the haricots verts and half of the proscuitto, toss to combine. Season to taste with salt. Transfer to a serving platter, top with remaining proscuitto and serve.
