Prosciutto, Peach and Sweet Lettuce Salad

Ingredients:
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 2 teaspoons honey
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh mint
- 1 package sweet butter lettuce mix
- 2 large ripe peaches, cut into wedges
- 3 ounces very thin slices prosciutto, cut into 1-inch pieces
- 3 ounces ricotta salata cheese, divided into 4 equal pieces
- 2 tablespoons dry-roasted sunflower seed kernels

Preparation:
Combine the first 4 ingredients, stirring with a whisk. Gradually drizzle in olive oil, stirring constantly with a whisk. Stir in chopped mint.
Combine lettuce mix and peach wedges in a large bowl. Drizzle lettuce mixture with dressing: toss gently to coat. Arrange about 2 cups salad in each of 4 bowls: top each serving with 3/4 ounce prosciutto, 1 piece of ricotta salata, and about 2 teaspoon sunflower seed kernels.

You can substitute the Ricotta salata cheese for Feta or Goat cheese. Serve with a hunk of crusty baguette and a glass of your favorite white wine.
