Grilled Pear Salad

Ingredients

Directions

Preheat your grill to high.

Cut the pears in half, and remove the cores. Grill the pear halves for 5 minutes on each side, until heated through, and slightly soft. Remove from the heat and set aside.

Cut the prosciutto into thin strips.

Arrange the spinach or salad greens on four salad plates. Evenly distribute the prosciutto over the spinach.

Slice the pears, and arrange the slices on the spinach and prosciutto. Sprinkle the gorgonzola over the top of the pears. Drizzle each salad with a little bit of balsamic vinegar, and serve.

Serves 4

This is a great salad for summer. It's light, and easy to prepare without a lot of cooking. I served this to my family on the Fourth Of July, and they loved it. To make this salad as a main dish, simply use a whole pear for each salad, rather than just a half, and increase the amount of prosciutto, gorgonzola, and spinach.
