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.

FENNEL, GRAPEFRUIT, AND PROSCIUTTO SALAD



Fennel, Grapefruit, and Prosciutto Salad image

This recipe can be prepared in 45 minutes or less.

Yield Serves 2

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 tablespoons pine nuts
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon white-wine vinegar
1/2 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1 small grapefruit (preferably pink)
1/2 fennel bulb (sometimes called anise)
1 small head radicchio
1/4 pound thinly sliced prosciutto

Steps:

  • Finely chop pine nuts and in a small heavy skillet cook in oil over moderate heat, stirring occasionally, until golden. Remove skillet from heat and whisk in vinegar and mustard.
  • With a sharp knife cut peel and pith from grapefruit and cut grapefruit sections free from membranes. Coarsely chop fruit. Trim fennel stalks flush with bulb and cut bulb lengthwise into very thin slices. Trim and discard core from slices. Thinly slice radicchio. In a bowl toss grapefruit, fennel, and radicchio with vinaigrette.
  • Divide prosciutto between 2 plates and top with salad.

Tips:

  • Use ripe, firm pears. Overripe pears will be too soft and mushy for the salad, while unripe pears will be too hard and crunchy.
  • Choose a good quality prosciutto. The prosciutto should be thinly sliced and have a delicate, salty flavor.
  • Use a sharp knife to slice the pears and prosciutto. This will help prevent the pears from tearing and the prosciutto from becoming tough.
  • Garnish the salad with fresh herbs, such as basil, mint, or chives. This will add a pop of color and flavor to the dish.
  • Serve the salad immediately after dressing it. This will prevent the pears from becoming too soft.

Conclusion:

Prosciutto, pear, and arugula salad is a delicious and easy-to-make salad that is perfect for a light lunch or dinner. The salty prosciutto, sweet pears, and bitter arugula are a perfect combination of flavors, and the dressing adds a touch of acidity and sweetness. This salad is also very versatile and can be easily adapted to your own taste preferences. For example, you can add other fruits, such as apples or grapes, or you can use a different type of cheese, such as feta or goat cheese. You can also add some nuts or seeds for a bit of crunch. No matter how you choose to make it, prosciutto, pear, and arugula salad is sure to be a hit.
