This salad is more than just the best arugula salad, it's also topped with prosciutto-wrapped, goat cheese-stuffed dates, pignoli nuts, crispy shallots, and balsamic glaze. Every bite of this salad is a combination of sweet and savory; the salty prosciutto wrapped around the sweet dates and stuffed with tangy goat cheese, the peppery arugula, the sweet balsamic, each bite leaves you wanting more. Pair this with any protein for a delicious lunch or dinner that feels restaurant-quality.

Notes
WW Points:
4 WW points for 1/2 the salad (all WW plans)
Note: dates have points in the WW app, but a majority of people do not choose to count points for them, as they are considered fruit. I have not included the points for the dates in this calculation. WW PersonalPoints™: Click here to track this recipe in the WW app.
