Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 cups Mixed salad greens
- 4 Prosciutto slices
- 1 cup Cherry tomatoes
- 1 cup Fresh mozzarella balls
- 0.25 cup Red onion, thinly sliced
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Balsamic vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Honey
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 clove Garlic, minced
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Pine nuts (optional)
Instructions
Wash and dry the mixed salad greens, then place them in a large serving bowl.
Slice the cherry tomatoes in half and add them to the bowl along with the fresh mozzarella balls and thinly sliced red onion.
Cut the prosciutto slices into smaller pieces and arrange them on top of the salad.
In a small saucepan over medium-low heat, warm the olive oil.
Add the minced garlic to the oil and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, but not browned.
Whisk in the balsamic vinegar, honey, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper. Stir until the dressing is well combined and warmed through. Remove from heat.
If using pine nuts, toast them in a small dry skillet over medium heat for 2-3 minutes until golden and fragrant. Set aside.
Drizzle the warm balsamic dressing over the assembled salad and toss gently to combine.
Garnish with toasted pine nuts, if desired, and serve immediately.
