Arugula Salad with Apples and Prosciutto


Looking to put a fresh twist on the same boring old salad? I made this lovely arugula salad the other night for dinner. Pairing the crisp greens with sweet apples and salty prosciutto was a winning combination. I served my salad with a homemade Roasted Acorn Squash Soup (click here for the recipe). It was a healthy and tasty dinner that even Kuzak really enjoyed!

Note that this salad is great for company - easy to make - but with a beautiful presentation sure to impress!

4 cups arugula
1 apple, cut into thin slices
6 strips prosciutto
1 tsp good balsamic vinegar
2 tbsp good olive oil
salt and pepper

Directions:

Lay the strips of prosciutto flat along the bottom of a plate or wide-bottomed bowl. Place apples slices on top.


Meanwhile, in a big bowl, whisk together the vinegar and olive oil. Add the arugula and toss to coat in the dressing. Salt and pepper to taste. Place the arugula on top of the apples and prosciutto. Enjoy!
