Time 5m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

1/2 cup canola oil
1/3 cup apple cider vinegar
2 tablespoons liquid honey
1 tablespoon chopped of fresh mint
1/2 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

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 to dress a large salad; goes especially nice on a relatively plain salad (ie, just mixed greens and raw mushrooms is great).

I often saw these bites on restaurant menus and thought about how simple they must be to prepare at home. The fresh mint from our garden adds a bright kick to these already delectable temptations. You could use different herbs with the prosciutto; herbes de Provence just provides another level of taste. -Jenn Tidwell, Fair Oaks, California
