Preparation

Step 1

Bring the vinegar to a slow boil over medium-high heat.

Reduce heat, and simmer for 2 minutes. The vinegar will start to resemble a syrup.

Remove the pan from heat, and add the honey. Set aside while you assemble the salad.

In a saute pan over medium heat, fry the prosciutto until crisp. Drain on paper towels and set aside.

Toss the arugula with olive oil, salt, and pepper.

Add the pears, prosciutto, cheese, pine nuts, and balsamic reduction.

Serve immediately.
