Pear And Prosciutto Di Parma Salad Recipes

Steps:

• 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!

Steps:

• Cut pears in half and core them.
• Peel one pear half, chop into cubes and place in a blender with the vinegar, mustard, salt and pepper. Puree until smooth. With the blender running add the olive oil; set aside.
• Cut remaining (unpeeled) pear halves into thin slices and place into a large bowl with the spinach.
• Pour the dressing over the top and gently toss.
• Place greens and pears onto each plate.
• Top each with 1/4 of the prosciutto, candied pecans and serve.

Steps:

• Place arugula in bowl. Quarter the pear lengthwise and remove the core. Cut into quarters and then in half again. Dress the pear with the juice of 1/2 lemon, thyme leaves, olive oil, salt and pepper. Place a few leaves of dressed greens on each slice of prosciutto with a slice of pear and roll up into a tight bundle. Cut each bundle in half, to make 16 pieces.

Steps:

• In small dishes, place egg whites and bread crumbs.
• In a large skillet over medium high heat, melt butter.
• Dip goat cheese slices first in the egg whites, second in the bread crumbs.
• Cook coated goat cheese in the hot butter until just golden, around 30 seconds for each side.
• Remove and set aside.
• In a small bowl whisk together all the ingredients from orange juice to the pepper.
• On each of 4 salad plates, arrange 3 lettuce leaves.
• Place 2 pear fans on each plate.
• Place/tuck 3 slices of Prosciutto on each plate.
• Center the goat cheese rounds, dividing evenly.
• Drizzle with vinaigrette and sprinkle with walnuts.
• Serve.

Steps:

• Wash, drain and chill all of the greens.
• Remove the core from the radicchio, cut into quarters and chill.
• Cut the prosciutto into strips and set aside.
• Shave the Romano into thin pieces and place in a large salad bowl.
• Add the greens, radicchio, prosciutto, black pepper and oil.
• Toss and serve or arrange on a chilled salad plate in a radial design with the prosciutto in the center.

Steps:

• Peel, halve, and core the pears.
• Grill the pears on medium heat, turning once, until they are heated through and have nice grill marks on both sides. 5-7 minutes.
• Alternately, you can sauté the pears in a little butter or apple juice to heat them through and soften them up a bit.
• Place one pear half on each plate.
• Top each pear half with a slice of prosciutto, followed by a slice of parmesan (use a potato peeler to get a nice, thin slice), and then a mint leaf.
• Drizzle a tablespoon of balsamic vinegar around each pear half.
• Season with salt and pepper if desired.
