Salad with Prosciutto and Caramelized Pears and Walnuts Recipe

In a medium saucepan heat orange juice over medium-high heat whisking often until it is reduced by 1/4.

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.

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.

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!
