Fried Prosciutto Salad with Chicken, Blue-Veined Gorgonzola & Avocado!

Did you know that when you fry up prosciutto, it becomes a perfect, thin, crispy topper? This time it will be topping a salad of fresh mixed spring greens, and sided with chicken, blue-veined gorgonzola cheese, and avocado!

This salad is a re-creation of one I recently ordered from the Marriott Airport Hotel in Montreal, Quebec. I’m not sure if it is exactly the same, as I was pretty excited that moment to be leaving for Punta Cana in the Dominican Republic with my husband the very next morning. Hence the reason for ordering a salad in the first place, but this one really did make quite an impression.

I suggest using a mild tasting dressing to go on this salad, as the cheese is pretty tangy in itself. My particular choice was white balsamic vinaigrette. Hope you enjoy it as much as I did!

This is an easy salad to make and fancy enough for entertaining!
