Ingredients
- 1 pound baby spinach leaves
- 1/4 cup olive oil, divided
- 1/4 pound prosciutto, cut in strips
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 1 portobello mushroom cap, sliced
- 1/2 red onion, cut in rings
- 3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 3 ounces Gorgonzola
- Salt and pepper
Directions
Trim, wash and dry the spinach thoroughly and place in a salad bowl.
Coat a saute pan with 2 tablespoons olive oil and put over medium heat. Fry the prosciutto and garlic for a minute to flavor the oil, and then add the mushrooms and onions. Saute the mushrooms and onions until they are slightly brown and tender, about 3 minutes.
Scrape the mixture on top of the spinach, return the pan to the stove. Add balsamic vinegar and scrape up the bits at the bottom of the pan. Add remaining oil and honey. Swirl pan around for a minute to warm the vinaigrette.
Pour the vinaigrette over the salad, top with Gorgonzola. Season with salt and pepper, toss, and serve immediately.

This may be my favorite spinach salad yet! I added red bell pepper, hard boiled egg, and used turkey bacon as I didn't have prosciutto on hand. It was a hit!

I used this recipe for a practical exam in culinary school and got high marks. It's even more delicious than it sounds, and so easy. I cut the mushroom and prosciutto in small dice instead of strips; and I substituted shallot rings for the onion. This worked well, except that next time I will be more generous with the shallots since they almost disappear in the dressing.

This was super easy. I've made it as is, and I've also made it subbing low-fat turkey bacon and feta- still tasty but a little healthier. I also have added a couple slices of hardboiled egg.
