Steps:

• In small dishes, place egg whites and bread crumbs.
• In a large skillet over medium high heat, melt butter.
• Dip goat cheese slices first in the egg whites, second in the bread crumbs.
• Cook coated goat cheese in the hot butter until just golden, around 30 seconds for each side.
• Remove and set aside.
• In a small bowl whisk together all the ingredients from orange juice to the pepper.
• On each of 4 salad plates, arrange 3 lettuce leaves.
• Place 2 pear fans on each plate.
• Place/tuck 3 slices of Prosciutto on each plate.
• Center the goat cheese rounds, dividing evenly.
• Drizzle with vinaigrette and sprinkle with walnuts.
• Serve.

Steps:

• Cut pears in half and core them.
• Peel one pear half, chop into cubes and place in a blender with the vinegar, mustard, salt and pepper. Puree until smooth. With the blender running add the olive oil; set aside.
• Cut remaining (unpeeled) pear halves into thin slices and place into a large bowl with the spinach.
• Pour the dressing over the top and gently toss.
• Place greens and pears onto each plate.
• Top each with 1/4 of the prosciutto, candied pecans and serve.

Steps:

• In a small bowl, whisk together pomegranate juice, olive oil, red wine vinegar, and salad dressing mix; set aside.
• Separate prosciutto slices, tear or chop into 1/2-inch pieces.
• In a medium frying pan, heat olive oil over medium-high heat, add prosciutto pieces and brown on all sides (approximately 3 to 4 minutes); set aside on paper towels.
• In a large bowl, add arugula and salad dressing. Toss to combine and place on a platter.
• Top with rolled up turkey slices, pear slices and crumbled goat cheese. Garnish with glazed nuts and prosciutto "croutons".

Steps:

• Place arugula in bowl. Quarter the pear lengthwise and remove the core. Cut into quarters and then in half again. Dress the pear with the juice of 1/2 lemon, thyme leaves, olive oil, salt and pepper. Place a few leaves of dressed greens on each slice of prosciutto with a slice of pear and roll up into a tight bundle. Cut each bundle in half, to make 16 pieces.

Steps:

• Coarsely chop chives and put in a food processor. Add olive oil and purée for 1 minute. Transfer to a squeeze bottle dispenser and set aside.
• Evenly distribute arugula onto 4 medium plates. Top with prosciutto and blue cheese.
• Peel and core pears, then cut in half. Cut each half into thin slices and add to plates in a fan shape.
• Drizzle chive olive oil over each salad and decoratively add some to the sides of the plates. Repeat with balsamic glaze.

Steps:

• 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!
