Ingredients:

Serving

2 cups fresh orange juice
2 tbsp red wine vinegar
2 tbsp finely chopped red onion
1 tbsp white sugar
1 tbsp white wine
salt and pepper to taste
3/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
1 tbsp butter
2 pears - peeled, cored and cut into wedges
1 cup walnut halves
1/2 cup white sugar
1/4 cup water
1/4 lb prosciutto , cut into thin strips
2 romaine hearts, rinsed and torn

Directions:

In a medium saucepan, heat orange juice over medium-high heat, whisking often, until it is reduced by 1/4.
Add to a blender, along with the vinegar, onion, sugar, wine, salt and pepper, and process until smooth. Then, while blending on a low speed, remove cap and slowly drizzle in the olive oil to emulsify (thicken) the dressing. Chill until ready to use.
Melt butter in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Saute pears and nuts in butter for 3 minutes. Add sugar and water and cook, stirring constantly, until golden brown and caramelized. Remove from heat and set aside to cool.
In a large bowl, combine prosciutto, lettuce and the pear and walnut mixture. Add vinaigrette and toss to coat. Serve on a large Italian platter. Enjoy!
