- 1 red Bartlett pear, cored, halved, and thinly sliced

Divide the pear slices between two plates, arranging them in a circular pattern; top with prosciutto. Drizzle with balsamic syrup as desired, and season with pepper.
What a fantastic salad! A perfect contrast with the salty prosciutto and the crisp but sweet pear. The balsamic vinegar syrup was perfect! Such an impressive easy dish...
Why did the balsamic vinegar solidify on the salad? What a mess!!!!
