Time 30m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

Ingredients

2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
1 1/2 teaspoons balsamic vinegar
1 tablespoon honey
4 cups arugula, loosely packed
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
4 ounces prosciutto, thinly sliced
8 figs, stems removed, sliced lengthwise (black or green will work)
4 ounces goat cheese, crumbled (optional)
kosher salt
fresh ground pepper

Steps:

Put the vinegar in a small bowl.
Add a pinch of salt and a few grinds of pepper, and stir to dissolve them.
Stir in the honey.
Put the arugula in another bowl.
Drizzle with the olive oil, season with salt and pepper.
Decoratively arrange the dressed arugula, the prosciutto, the figs over the surface of a serving platter.
Crumble the goat cheese if you are using it over the salad.
Then drizzle everything with the balsamic-honey dressing.

Tips:

For the best flavor, use ripe, in-season figs. Look for figs that are plump and have a slight give when pressed.
If you can't find prosciutto, you can substitute another type of cured meat, such as Serrano ham or speck.
To save time, you can buy pre-sliced prosciutto.
If you don't have a grill, you can cook the prosciutto in a skillet over medium heat.
Be sure to watch the prosciutto closely so that it doesn't burn.
To make the dressing, you can use either olive oil or balsamic vinegar. If you use balsamic vinegar, be sure to add a little bit of honey or sugar to balance out the acidity.
If you don't have goat cheese, you can substitute another type of cheese, such as feta or Parmesan.
To assemble the salad, simply toss the figs, prosciutto, goat cheese, and dressing together. You can also add some arugula or other greens to the salad.

Conclusion:

This fig and crispy prosciutto salad is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a summer lunch or dinner. The sweet figs, salty prosciutto, creamy goat cheese, and tangy dressing come together to create a salad that is both flavorful and satisfying. This salad is also a great way to use up any leftover figs you may have.
