Fig Salad

Ingredients

4 ripe figs

4 slices quality prosciutto

Buffalo mozzarella cheese

1 bunch of fresh green basil

Extra virgin olive oil

1 lemon

1 tablespoon honey

Method of Preparation

One thing I do is to criss-cross the figs but not quite to the bottom. Then, using your thumbs and forefingers, squeeze the base of the fig to expose the inside. More importantly, it allows your dressing to get right into the middle of the fig. Simply place the figs in a dish, weave around 1 slice of Parma ham or prosciutto per fig, throw in some slices of buffalo mozzarella and rip over some green or purple basil. Mix 6 tablespoons of oil, half the lemon juice, honey and some sea salt and freshly ground black pepper together in a bowl and drizzle everything with this dressing.
