- Wash and Prep the Berries: Rinse the strawberries and blueberries under cold water. Pat them dry gently with a paper towel. Slice the strawberries in halves and set aside.

- Create the Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the extra-virgin olive oil, balsamic vinegar, honey, salt and black pepper until well combined.
- Drizzle and Toss: It's best to give everyone the chance to dress their own salad however if you do dress it: Just before serving, drizzle the dressing over the salad. Be mindful not to overdo it; you can always add more if needed. Gently toss the salad to ensure the dressing is evenly distributed.
- Garnish with Prosciutto: Finish the salad by scattering the prosciutto pieces over the top, adding a layer of saltiness and crunch.
