SALAD

  • 100g arugula / rocket

  • 120g blue cheese
  • 1 pear, thinly sliced
  • ½ cup green grapes
  • 1/3 cup slivered almonds, lightly roasted

Method

Step 1
Place slivered almonds in a skillet or small frypan (no oil) over medium heat. Heat, shaking the pan and stirring with a wooden spoon, until the nuts are golden brown 3 to 4 minutes. Stay at the stove because the nuts can easily burn! Set aside.

Step 2
Prepare Prosciutto by tearing apart into pieces. In a medium salad bowl, arrange arugula, prosciutto, sliced pear and grapes. Crumble blue cheese over the salad. Add slivered almonds.

Step 3
Drizzle with olive oil and desired amount of balsamic glaze and toss.
