Ingredients
- 1 medium red apple I used SugarBee
- 2 oz. prosciutto
- 4 cups fresh arugula (~85g)
- 1/2 cup feta cheese (56g) crumbled
- 1/4 cup glazed pecans (28g)
- 2 Tbsp. balsamic glaze
Optional for serving:
- Drizzle of extra virgin olive oil
- Salt & black pepper
Instructions
- Halve, core, and thinly slice the apple.
- Cut prosciutto into strips lengthwise, then halve crosswise.
- In a large bowl, combine arugula, apple, prosciutto, and half of the feta. Drizzle lightly with olive oil, if desired, and season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Serve as 2 entrée salads or arrange on a large platter for sharing. Top with pecans and remaining feta, then drizzle with balsamic glaze before serving.
Notes
This salad is best enjoyed fresh, but leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 day.
For the best texture, store the balsamic glaze and pecans separately and add them just before serving. If making ahead, wait to slice the apples until shortly before serving to help prevent browning.
