This delicious and easy salad is a variant of one posted on food.com at http://www.food.com/recipe/fig-prosciutto-and-arugula-salad-261149. Searching the Internet will find you others. Some use different cheese - like Parmesan or mozzarella. Others add ingredients like rosemary.
Below is my version of the one at food.com. It served three of us.
Ingredients
- 8 Black Mission figs slice vertically and with the stem cut off
- about 4 ounces of mixed arugula and spinach (The original recipe had only arugula.)
- 4 slices of prosciutto cut into small pieces
- several ounces of soft goat cheese (or whatever type cheese you might enjoy with the main ingredients, or no cheese at all)
- high quality Extra Virgin Olive Oil (EVOO)
- 2 tablespoons + 1 & 1/2 teaspoons of balsamic vinegar (I used raspberry.)
- 1 tablespoon honey
- sea salt
- freshly ground pepper
Directions
Put the balsamic vinegar in a small bowl.
Add a pinch of salt and a few grinds of pepper. Stir to dissolve them.
Stir in the honey.
Spread the arugula and spinach on a serving platter. Drizzle the greens with the EVOO, and season with salt and pepper.
Decoratively arrange the greens, figs and prosciutto on the platter.
Sprinkle the goat cheese over the items on the platter.
Drizzle everything with the balsamic-honey dressing.
