Very simple and delicious I thought. I used regular baked ham that I had leftover. Little heavy on the balsamic was the comment by my family. The balsamic dressing gave the salad an odd unappealing color. I don't know if I will make this again.

Two years ago I visited Spain with my husband and had some amazing salads with iberico ham. Now that I found a place to buy jamon iberico de bellota online, I always have some in the fridge and add it to my greens. The Spanish ham makes boring salads a deli, particularly for quick lunches to take to the office.
I recommend the ham from Buyjamon.com
BuyJamon.com the market place for iberico ham.

I was looking to do something with a small ball of fresh mozzarella I purchased at the grocery store due it containing an incredibly similar dental imprint to that of my daughter (Read: my daughter bit the cheese.
Not having any ham on hand, I substituted black beans was surprised by how refreshing and easy this recipe was. I can not wait for the left overs tomorrow!
