Prosciutto, Avocado & Pear Salad

This is definitely my favourite carb-free work lunch! Made with fresh ingredients, it doesn't scrimp on flavour. Enjoy this for either lunch or dinner if you're looking for a filling but lighter option.

Ingredients
 

  • 120g packet baby rocket salad mix
  • 1 avocado, chopped into chunks
  • 1 pear, chopped into chunks
  • 1/2 red onion, sliced
  • 1/4 cup toasted walnuts, lightly crushed
  • Balsamic glaze
  • 4 slices prosciutto, broken up into smaller pieces

Instructions
 

  • On two plates, add first baby rocket then top with avocado, pear, red onion and prosciutto.
  • Sprinkle the lightly crushed walnuts on top for added texture and crunch, then drizzle with balsamic glaze for the salad dressing.

Notes

  • Balsamic glaze is balsamic vinegar reduced down until it is thick and slightly sweet.
  • Aldi have a fig balsamic glaze that's available from the same area you would buy regular balsamic glaze - this flavour works exceptionally well with this salad.
  • You can use a salad leaf mix of baby rocket and baby spinach if this is only available.
  • If you have a nut allergy, substitute the walnuts for sunflower seeds or even pumpkin seeds so you still get that added texture and crunch.
