This is a fantastic recipe that consists of so many different flavors you will be very impressed. The combination of orange flavored vinaigrette and prosciutto will make your mouth happy. Side Notes: The vinaigrette makes a wonderful marinade for grilled chicken and pork. Granny Smith apple's work well as a substitute for the pears. Add a finishing touch by sprinkling some crumbled blue cheese or gorganzola on the salad.
