Notes:
If you don't have time or ingredients to mix up the dressing, using a bottled Italian or Greek Vinaigrette works very well, too. Bacon bits also work okay in place of the prosciutto. I usually just mix the garnishes in with the salad rather than reserving to place on top later, but the taste is great either way.
