Cha-Cha Charoses

Charoses is a Jewish recipe served during Passover Seder. The shredded apple and dressing creates a sticky salad with an almost paste-like consistency that represents the straw-free mortar ancient Jewish slaves used for construction in Egypt. Adding prosciutto to the charoses balances the sweet flavors with the salty pork. However, as pork is definitely non-kosher, never serve this dish at Passover or to anyone who follows kosher laws.
