SPINACH SALAD WITH PROSCIUTTO AND PERSIMMON
This colorful salad, a mix of spinach, sweet persimmon, prosciutto and plenty of Parmesan-laced croutons, is satisfying enough for a light dinner. Or serve it as a somewhat unusual first course. Make sure to add enough oil and vinegar at the end to just coat the spinach, but not weigh the leaves down. The croutons can be made the day before; store them in an airtight container at room temperature.

SPINACH SALAD WITH PERSIMMONS, GOAT CHEESE AND WALNUTS
I was never crazy about persimmons until I made this salad with the crunchy Fuyu variety. I love the contrast of sweet persimmons with earthy spinach.

SPINACH AND PERSIMMON SALAD WITH GOAT CHEESE AND POMEGRANATE
I love how the sweet persimmon balances out the tartness that you get from the pomegranate arils and creamy goat cheese. Top that with the crunch of sliced almonds, and you have the perfect fall salad.

SPINACH SALAD WITH SARDINES AND CRISPY PROSCIUTTO
Sardines go sophisticated, and add enough heft to call this bright and balanced salad a full meal. Lightly baked strips of prosciutto play beautifully off of tart lemon zest and sweet golden raisins.

SPINACH AND PROSCIUTTO SALAD
From the May 2008 issue of Cooking Light magazine. I use mozzarella or feta cheese just because we're not fans of goat cheese and I usually throw black olives on the salad as well.

SPINACH SALAD WITH PINEAPPLE, PROSCIUTTO AND SHALLOT DRESSING
I can't wait to try this from the Sun-Sentinel, Feb. 28, 2008. The note above the recipe says that "This is a play on the original spinach salad; it can be served as a starter or offered alongside roasted chicken, pork or duck. The addition of pineapple adds sweetness and body. Baby arugula leaves would work well instead of spinach."
