Crispy Prosciutto & Honey Walnut Summer Salad with a Garlicky Honey Mustard Dressing

Welcome to my new website! I am so excited to launch my new website and branding with one of my favorite summer salads, my Crispy Prosciutto & Honey Walnut Salad with a Garlicky Honey Mustard Dressing! I feel like I have finally mastered the art of summer salads (or just salads) and now know the components to make a perfect one. Now, here is what you need:

To make the perfect summer salad, all you have to do is:

• Have a crunch – this can be crispy prosciutto, toasted pine nuts, or make my honey-toasted walnuts
• Fruit is a MUST – take advantage of the fruits that are in season like peaches! There are so many things that you can do with them, you can BBQ or grill them too for some extra flavor
• A good base– now this doesn’t always have to be lettuce. You can opt for diced veggies or a grain like quinoa or bulgur
• Bright & flavorful dressing – the more fat, salt & acid the better! Brighten your dressings with citrus, opt for high-quality olive oil and add in all of the fresh herbs!

Equipment Needed

• 1 Salad Bowl
• 1 Measuring Cup for Dressing
• 2 Baking Sheets
• 1 Cutting Board
• Salad Tongs
