WARM SPINACH AND BASIL SALAD


6 Cups Spinach
· 2 Cups Fresh Basil
· 1/2 Cup Olive Oil
· 3 Cloves Finely Chopped Garlic
· 1/2 Cup Pine Nuts
· 3/4 Cup Diced Prosciutto (Ham also works nicely.)
· 3/4 Cup Parmesan Cheese
Wash, rinse, and drain 6 cups of spinach and 2 cups of fresh basil leaves.
Remove any stems and tear larger leaves in half.
Toss the prepared spinach and basil in a bowl and set it aside.
In a skillet, combine 1/2 cup of olive oil, 3 cloves of finely chopped garlic and a 1/2 cup of pine nuts.
Stirring constantly, sauté these ingredients over a medium heat for a few minutes.
Add 3/4 of a cup of diced prosciutto or thinly sliced, cooked ham.
Continue to sauté until pine nuts are a nice toasty brown and the prosciutto is heated through.
Pine nuts tend to burn easily so it should take but a few minutes.
Pour this hot mixture over the salad greens and toss.
This recipe is enough for four people. If you'd like to make more or less of it just remember that it's one part basil leaves to three parts spinach.
