Ingredients
  

For the Salad
  • 1 bag Spring Mix Substitute with baby spinach or arugula if desired.
  • 1 Honey Crisp Apple Pink Lady apples are a great alternative.
  • 1 cup Strawberries Juicy and sweet; look for seasonal options from late April to July.
  • 4 slices Prosciutto Replace with bacon or omit for a vegetarian salad.
  • ½ cup Feta Cheese Goat cheese can be substituted.
  • ¼ cup Granola Any store-bought variety works, but homemade is best!
  • ¼ cup Red Onion Optional; shallots provide a milder flavor if preferred.
For the Dressing
  • ¼ cup Balsamic Vinegar Red wine vinegar makes a good substitute.
  • ¼ cup Olive Oil Avocado oil is a great alternative.
  • 1 tablespoon Honey or Maple Syrup Agave syrup can be used for a vegan option.
  • 1 tablespoon Poppy Seeds You can swap them with sesame seeds for variety.

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper, then arrange the prosciutto slices in a single layer. Bake for 8–10 minutes until crispy and golden. Let cool completely before crumbling.
  2. In a small bowl or jar, combine the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, and honey or maple syrup. Whisk or shake well until fully blended, then taste and season with salt and black pepper.
  3. Rinse and dry the spring mix, then place it in a large serving bowl. Slice the honey crisp apple thinly and toss with a little lemon juice to prevent browning. Hull and halve the strawberries.
  4. Layer the prepared spring mix, sliced apples, and strawberries in the serving bowl. Sprinkle crumbled prosciutto, feta cheese, and granola on top. Add red onion if desired.
  5. Drizzle the balsamic poppy seed vinaigrette over the salad before serving. Serve immediately for the best taste.
