Honeycrisp, Arugula, and Prosciutto Salad

Chef*Lee's Note:

If you have never had a honeycrisp apple, get one now!!! They only come around once a year and they really live up to their name!! They are sweet, tart, firm and crisp with a honey flavor. They are the best apples on the planet!! I made this salad with the beloved honeycrisp apple and a balsamic dressing with ceylon cinnamon. Ceylon cinnamon is citrusy and less strong than cassia cinnamon so it is subtle in this dressing. I hope you like my salad!

Delicious! For myself, I have to be careful with cured meats, so I only ate a little bit of the prosciutto with my serving. I am also a huge fan of honeycrisps. Thanks for posting!
