Method

Make the dressing. Put the grape juice in a pan and bring to the boil. Simmer for 6 minutes to reduce by half. Cool for 10 minutes, then whisk in the remaining dressing ingredients and season to taste.
Mix the leaves, grapes, Parma ham, cheese and walnuts in a bowl. Toss with 4 tablespoons of the dressing, divide between plates and drizzle with the remaining dressing.
