Ingredients

3 slices prosciutto
1 1/2 tbs extra virgin olive oil
1 tbs red wine vinegar
2/3 cup fresh basil leaves
2 small (about 320g) single smoked chicken breasts, skin removed, coarsely shredded
600g Thompson seedless grapes
1/2 cup pale celery leaves
55g (1/2 cup) walnut halves, coarsely chopped
60g blue cheese, crumbled

Method

Preheat grill on high. Place the prosciutto, in a single layer, on a baking tray. Cook under the grill for 3 minutes or until the prosciutto is crisp around the edges. Set aside on the tray to cool slightly.

Whisk together the oil and vinegar in a small bowl until well combined. Coarsely tear the prosciutto and any large basil leaves.

Place the chicken, grapes, celery leaves, walnuts, blue cheese, basil and prosciutto in a large bowl. Add three-quarters of the dressing and toss to combine. Taste and season with salt and pepper. Divide the salad among serving plates and drizzle over the remaining dressing to serve.

Notes:

You'll need to pick the pale celery leaves from the centre of half a bunch of celery for this recipe. Tip: If you're not a lover of blue cheese, replace it with 60g Greek-style feta, crumbled.
