Grapefruit, Avocado and Prosciutto Salad

Prosciutto is one of my all-time favorite foods. I love it in salads, on sandwiches, wrapped up with some melon (if you haven’t tried that combo, do it – do it now), as part of a cheese plate or simply on its own. My husband loves it, too. It’s not exactly cheap, so we don’t buy all the time. We do, however, splurge every now and then.

Recently, my store had prosciutto on sale, so I eagerly grabbed some. I used it in several different recipes, including the one I’m giving you today. This salad will definitely go into my lunch rotation – it’s SO yummy. It takes hardly any time at all to throw together, which is perfect when I’m juggling feeding, naps, snacks and playtime with my little ones!
