Warm Winter Greens Salad with Water Buffalo Mozzarella wrapped in Proscuitto

By Mara Jernigan, Fairburn Farms (Cowichan Valley, BC)

Most people only think about serving fresh mozzarella in the summer with heirloom tomatoes, but this quick and easy warm salad using local winter greens and proscuitto is a wonderful way to enjoy Natural Pastures Fairburn Buffalo Mozzarella any time. I like to serve it with a vinaigrette made using Venturi Schulze Balsamic Vinegar from BC’s Cowichan Valley.

In truth, there was no such thing as a standardized recipe for savory dishes in my family, and I follow that tradition to this day. Any and everything can go into this sauce—and has. Nevertheless, I have done my best to document the most no-frills version of our family’s tomato sauce, or as my father’s family called it, “gravy.”
