- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon white balsamic vinegar

- 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1/3 cup canola oil or olive oil
- 5 ounces mesclun greens
- 1/2 cup thinly sliced fennel bulb
- 1/4 cup pine nuts, toasted
- Wrap each grissini in a piece of prosciutto, on a slight diagonal to cover as much of the breadstick as possible.
- Set aside.
- In a medium bowl, mix the shallot, mustard, vinegar, salt, and pepper together.
- Gradually whisk in the oil in a slow stream.
- Place the mesclun greens and fennel in a large bowl and toss evenly with the dressing.
- Distribute among 4 serving plates and sprinkle with pine nuts.
- Take 2 prepared grissini and place them on top of each salad forming an "x".
- Serve immediately.
- Cook's Note: Grissini are pencil-thin breadsticks that can found at specialty and Italian food markets.
