Pair this salad with fresh salad greens or a couscous salad, crostini and sweet tea for the perfect al fresco lunch or summer salad buffet. Experiment with different varieties of seasonal fruits: honeydew, strawberries, blueberries, and pineapple are delicious contrasts to the salty prosciutto and feta.
