salad with prosciutto and caramelized pears and walnuts

salad with prosciutto and caramelized pears and walnuts
  • 2 cups fresh orange juice
  • 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons finely chopped red onion
  • 1 tablespoon white sugar
  • 1 tablespoon white wine
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 3/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 2 pears - peeled, cored and cut into wedges
  • 1 cup walnut halves
  • 1/2 cup white sugar
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 1/4 pound prosciutto, cut into thin strips
  • 2 romaine hearts, rinsed and torn


  1. In a medium saucepan, heat orange juice over medium-high heat, whisking often, until it is reduced by 1/4.
  2. Add to a blender, along with the vinegar, onion, sugar, wine, salt and pepper, and process until smooth. Then, while blending on a low speed, remove cap and slowly drizzle in the olive oil to emulsify (thicken) the dressing. Chill until ready to use.
  3. Melt butter in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Saute pears and nuts in butter for 3 minutes. Add sugar and water and cook, stirring constantly, until golden brown and caramelized. Remove from heat and set aside to cool.
  4. In a large bowl, combine prosciutto, lettuce and the pear and walnut mixture. Add vinaigrette and toss to coat. Serve on a large Italian platter. Enjoy!
