Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees.

  3. While the prosciutto is baking, whisk the vinegar in a bowl with the mustard, honey, salt and pepper. Slowly drizzle in the olive oil while whisking. Taste the dressing for seasonings.
  4. Place the arugula in a large bowl. Top with the mozzarella, papaya, and crispy prosciutto. Pour on some of the dressing and toss the salad. Do not over dress it!
  5. Save the leftover dressing in the fridge in an airtight container for a couple of days.
