Steps:
- In a small bowl, whisk all ingredients together; you can also do this in a blender or food processor, but note that this will then puree the mint leaves.
- Use right away, or refrigerate until needed; if refrigerated, whisk again to combine before using.
- Use to dress a large salad; goes especially nice on a relatively plain salad (ie, just mixed greens and raw mushrooms is great).

You could use different herbs with the prosciutto; herbes de Provence just provides another level of taste. -Jenn Tidwell, Fair Oaks, California
