Ingredients:
- 6 cups mixed baby greens
- 2 cups cubed watermelon
- 1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese
- 2 oz prosciutto, torn or sliced into 1" pieces
- 1/4 cup toasted pine nuts
- 1/2 cup finely sliced fresh basil
- 1/2 cup finely sliced fresh mint
Dressing:
- 1/2 cup strawberry jam (freezer is best for freshest flavor)
- 2/3 cup aged balsamic vinegar
- 1/4 t. garlic powder
- 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
- zest of 1 lemon (about 1-1 1/2 t.)
- pinch of salt and pepper
Method:
Assemble greens on the plates. Top each with 1 cup watermelon, 2 T., feta, 1 oz Prosciutto, 2 T. pine nuts, and herbs. Whisk together all dressing ingredients and serve immediately. You should have some extra dressing for later. This is also great with strawberries or raspberries!
