Argentina Salad with Grapefruit Vinaigrette...

I have loved for so long, a restaurant in our area called Asado Steak House...it has an Argentina menu....South American food is so flavorful and good! this is a salad served at Asado's restaurant, or my version anyway.  It is called a wedge salad. It is not like any wedge salad I have ever eaten. Still, it is so good...the grapefruit vinaigrette, makes the salad. I made my salad with a helping of spinach leaves and butter lettuce leaves....I used fried prosciutto and sauteed corn...

Grapefruit Vinaigrette
1/4 cup of fresh squeezed pink grapefruit
1 tablespoon grey poupon mustard
1 tablespoon agave syrup
1 tsp rice wine vinegar
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
1/2 cup of olive oil

Whirl first 6 ingredients in blender, while blender is still running slowly add olive oil. If you don't have agave, add honey instead...if no honey add white corn syrup....

Use prosciutto... cut in small pieces and fry on medium heat until crisp...set aside...

peel grapefruit......

cut out the sections from the white membrane....squeeze the rest in a bowl to measure 1/4 cup...

add to blender with the rest of ingredients...

turn on blender and add olive oil slowly....

pour into pitcher and save for salad....

for the salad add a cup of fresh or frozen corn in a fry pan with a tsp of fresh butter and a tsp of olive oil...

fry over medium heat until it browns...this really brings out the sweetness of the corn...

add to the salad greens....a few sections of grapefruit, some of the corn and a few sprinkles of the crisp prosciutto....I added also a sprinkling of green onions....

serve with the grapefruit vinaigrette....this is the best salad!!!!  It is sweet and salty and crisp! if I added anything it would be fresh blueberries....but not yet, I must wait till July.

Cheers to Happy !!!
