CLASSIC ITALIAN SALAD WITH PROSCIUTTO & GORGONZOLA
I created this salad after having it at a favorite restaurant. Easy and great for entertaining. Other toss ins such as peppercinis and olives can be added. Remember though that the prosciutto and cheeses are salty so adjust accordingly. I have a bottle of Olive Gardens salad dressing that I like to use for this but your favorite will be delicious.
