Ingredients
- 6 slices prosciutto
- 2 oranges, zested
- 2 small oranges, juiced or 1 large orange, juiced
- 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 clove garlic, peeled
- 3/4 teaspoon salt
- 3/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 3/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
- 10 to 12 ounces pre-washed spinach
Directions
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
Place the prosciutto slices on a baking sheet and bake until just crisp, about 10 minutes. Let cool. Crumble the prosciutto slices into a container and store in the refrigerator.
In a blender, combine the orange zest, orange juice, balsamic vinegar, honey, garlic, salt, and pepper. Blend until smooth. With the blender running, add the olive oil in a steady stream until combined. Transfer to a container and store in the refrigerator.
To serve, put the spinach in a large bowl. Toss with enough of the vinaigrette to coat the spinach. Sprinkle with the crisp prosciutto crumbles, toss again, and serve.

I was very disappointed in this recipe - the orange rind was too bitter and overpowering. It ruined the entire vinaigrette. I won't be making this again. On a more positive note, the prosciutto was great, and I will be using this technique in other salads.

I love this. I added dried cranberries and crumbled ricotta salada, as well.

loved it!! this one is a keeper!! use only one orange, two is a bit too much and you will not taste the balsamic vinegar.
