WARM SPINACH AND BASIL SALAD

Steps:

• Directions: To get started, wash, rinse, and drain 6 cups of spinach and 2 cups of fresh basil leaves. I always remove any stems and tear larger leaves in half. Toss the prepared spinach and basil in a bowl and set it aside. In a skillet, combine 1/2 cup of olive oil with 3 cloves of finely chopped or minced garlic and a 1/2 cup of pine nuts. Stirring constantly, sauté these ingredients over a medium heat for a few minutes and then add 3/4 of a cup of diced prosciutto or thinly sliced, cooked ham. Continue to sauté until pine nuts are a nice toasty brown and the prosciutto is heated through. Pine nuts tend to burn easily so it should take only a few minutes. Pour this hot mixture over the salad greens and toss.
