Juicy slices of Macintosh apples are wrapped with imported prosciutto for a delicious sweet and salty combination. A little crunch from some candied pecans, a sprinkle of Gorgonzola cheese and now all this Arugula Salad {with Prosciutto Wrapped Apples} needed was a killer dressing! A Raw Apple Cider Vinaigrette was the winner! Healthy, delicious and amazing!

Arugula Salad {with Prosciutto Wrapped Apples}

This salad is one of my son’s creations. I hope to have more of his creations to share with you because he is an amazing cook! When he was a baby my grandmother used to babysit for him while I was at work. Instead of watching Sesame Street and Barney he would watch Emeril and Rachael Ray with her. His first culinary creation that I can remember was when he was about 2 1/2 years old. I told him that I was going to make him lunch after I took a shower. Apparently, he couldn’t wait. When I entered the kitchen I could see a counter stool in front of the fridge. My 3 foot son, at the time, was sitting at the counter with frozen raisin bread and a jar of open peanut butter. He knew he wasn’t allowed to use a knife so he decided that spreading the peanut butter with his hand would work just as well. Naturally the bread wasn’t the only thing covered with peanut butter.

Since then he has gone on to make some amazing dishes. Like Lobster Thermidor and Osso Buco. He has even made some awesome sculpted birthday cakes for his girlfriend. Even now as I write this post he is brewing up a batch of my grandfather’s secret recipe for Krupnik (A Lithuanian liquor made with spices and honey). I’m so grateful for the time that he got to spend with his great-grandparents and  I’m so happy that he is carrying  on their great talent and love for cooking!

This salad would make a delicious side with any meal or could be served as a light lunch. I loved the combination of flavors he used. They all complimented each other so well. Even my daughter who can be a little on the picky side was going in for seconds. Enjoy!
