Main Course Spinach Salad with Prosciutto, Cannellini, and a Maple Vinaigrette
Serves 4

Ingredients

  • 3 teaspoons maple syrup
  • 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
  • 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
  • 1/4 cup light olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon coarse ground black pepper
  • pinch salt
  • 1 bunch baby spinach (about 6 cups, stemmed)
  • 1 can cannellini beans (drained and rinsed)
  • 1/2 Small red onion (peeled and thinly sliced)
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 4oz thinly sliced prosciutto (cut into ribbons)
  • 1/4 cup pine nuts

Note

If you are a Costco shopper, that is where you should get your prosciutto and pine nuts….good quality and best value around for these pricey ingredients.

Directions

1. In a small bowl, whisk vinaigrette ingredients together until blended. Place spinach, cannellini beans and red onion in a large bowl. Add vinaigrette and toss.
2. Melt butter in a small skillet over medium heat. Add the pine nuts and stir until fragrant, about a minute, then add the prosciutto and stir constantly, separating the ribbons, until it is warmed through, about 2 more minutes. Remove from the heat and let this mixture cool slightly before adding it to the salad and tossing to combine. Taste and season with salt and pepper if needed.
