SALAD WITH PROSCIUTTO AND CARAMELIZED PEARS AND WALNUTS
An amazing salad that blends different flavors to impress your guests. The salad dressing is an orange vinaigrette. Try to use Asian pears in this salad, as they are best for flavor. But if you can't find Asian pears in your area, you can substitute Bosc or Anjou.

Steps:
- In a medium saucepan, heat orange juice over medium-high heat, whisking often, until it is reduced by 1/4.
- Add to a blender, along with the vinegar, onion, sugar, wine, salt and pepper, and process until smooth. Then, while blending on a low speed, remove cap and slowly drizzle in the olive oil to emulsify (thicken) the dressing. Chill until ready to use.
- Melt butter in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Saute pears and nuts in butter for 3 minutes. Add sugar and water and cook, stirring constantly, until golden brown and caramelized. Remove from heat and set aside to cool.
- In a large bowl, combine prosciutto, lettuce and the pear and walnut mixture. Add vinaigrette and toss to coat. Serve on a large Italian platter. Enjoy!

SALAD WITH PROSCIUTTO, CARAMELIZED PEARS, & WALNUTS
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.
