CLASSIC ITALIAN SALAD WITH PROSCIUTTO & GORGONZOLA
I created this salad after having it at a favorite restaurant. Easy and great for entertaining. Other toss ins such as peppercinis and olives can be added. Remember though that the prosciutto and cheeses are salty so adjust accordingly. I have a bottle of Olive Gardens salad dressing that I like to use for this but your favorite will be delicious.

FIG, PROSCIUTTO, GORGONZOLA SALAD
From Cooking Light. This is so simple and quick to make. I tried grilling the figs (thanks to Rita for the idea from her recipe for grilled figs--Recipe#68915), before adding the remaining ingredients and I thought the salad was even better.

GORGONZOLA AND PROSCIUTTO TORTELLINI SALAD
There's an amazing Italian grocery store near me, which has some amazing pasta salads. They are not cheap, but they are delicious. My favorite one is the Gorgonzola and prosciutto pasta salad. This is my clone of it and it tastes exactly like theirs when tasted side by side.

Steps:
- Slice prosciutto into strips that are 1 inch long and 1/4 inch wide.
- Fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rolling boil; stir in tortellini and return to a boil. Cook uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the tortellini float to the top and the filling is hot, about 3 minutes. Drain and cool under cold running water to stop the cooking process.
- Mix oil, vinegar, garlic, basil, oregano, salt, and pepper together in a jar. Put the lid on the jar and shake into an emulsion.
- Place tortellini, prosciutto, Gorgonzola cheese, bell peppers, and onion in a large bowl. Pour the vinaigrette over the top and toss lightly with 2 large spoons. Enjoy immediately or allow the flavors to meld for 3 to 4 hours in the refrigerator.
