Olivia Arezzolo Shows How "You Can Make Friends With Salad"

When it comes to entertaining, an over-indulgent meal will make your guests feel warm and fuzzy for a little while, but then the guilt of breaking their health kick will become that uninvited party guest. So instead of making your guests feel like they need to run a marathon following your next dinner date, why not make them feel like they did something good for their body and soul - sans the calories and without compromising on taste. Here Olivia Arezzolo shares her ultimate dinner party salad. 

"You definitely can make friends with salad".  

Ingredients:

• 1 bunch asparagus lightly roasted in an oven for 15-20 minutes prior to salad creating
• Fresh figs, quartered
• Organic mixed leaves
• Premium Italian Proscuitto from your local butcher - quality does make a difference here!
• Basil leaves, chopped (optional)

Instructions: Combine all ingredients and serve with a drizzle of olive oil, balsamic or a combo of the two.
