MarieAlice - I hope that you will forgive me for subbing prosciutto for the ham...it was the only change I made...and prosciutto really is ham! This salad was yet another winner....simple but beautiful. I lightly fried the prosciutto and then followed the recipe. Couldn't be simpler and was very much enjoyed. Thanks again.
