Prosciutto, Date, And Nut Salad

Prosciutto, date, and nut salad

The Paleovirtus womenfolk were having steaks.

I’d had a largish lunch, and couldn’t quite see myself managing a whole lump of beef.

I wanted a salad, but something with a bit of body behind it, if you follow.

I came up with this combo more or less on the fly.

Salty and sweet, chewy yet crunchy, and as tasty as it was marty purdy, dagnabbit….
