Fig And Crispy Prosciutto Salad Recipes

ROASTED FIGS AND PROSCIUTTO

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
• Snip the hard stems off the figs and cut the figs in half lengthwise through the stem. With a small sharp knife, cut the prosciutto lengthwise into inch-wide strips. Wrap a strip of prosciutto around the center of each fig half, with the ends overlapping. Brush with olive oil and arrange cut-side up on a sheet pan.
• Roast the figs for 10 minutes, until the prosciutto is a little crisp and the figs are warmed through. Serve warm.

• Whisk vinegar and honey together until smooth in a large bowl. Slowly pour the remaining olive oil in, whisking constantly. Stir in sliced figs, shallot, 1/4 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp pepper. Add arugula and toss until arugula is evenly covered. Divide arugula evenly among 6 bowls. Top each portion with some prosciutto, walnuts and Parmesan cheese.
