Prosciutto Apple Salad with Feta and Blackberry Dressing

The salad is perfect for a light and elegant lunch, a brunch gathering, or as an appetizer for a dinner party. It pairs well with a dry white wine like Chardonnay to complement the sweet and savory elements. Serving it with a fresh baguette or artisanal bread enhances the overall meal. A chilled sparkling water with a citrus twist can be a great non-alcoholic option. This salad combines the richness of prosciutto with the crispness of apples, the creaminess of feta, and the unique flavor of blackberry dressing to create a balanced and delightful dish.
