This elegant salad features a wonderful combination of pear, prosciutto, and Gorgonzola, and Newman's Own Balsamic Vinaigrette Salad Dressing. It is very easy to put together and can be served as an appetizer, snack, or a meal salad.
Ingredients: (4 meal portions or 8 appetizer portions)
About 7 cups or 5 ounces baby arugula
1/3 cup Newman's Own Balsamic Vinaigrette Salad Dressing
1 cup Prosciutto, chopped
1/2 cup dried dates, sliced into rounds
2 pears, peeled, cored, and cut in thin slices
1/4 cup hazelnuts, chopped
1/3 cup crumbled Gorgonzola
1 large flatbread, such as pita or naan
Directions:
Toast the flatbreads in a toaster oven until very crispy, for about 6-7 minutes. Cut into small squares.
In a large bowl toss baby arugula with prosciutto, dates, and balsamic vinaigrette. Arrange the arugula mixture on plates and top with pear slices, diving equally. Sprinkle with hazelnuts and Gorgonzola. Top with a few flatbread croutons per serving (or more if desired).
