Fast, simple, quick and easy but insanely delicious. When adding figs life just becomes instantly decadent in my opinion. My instant association and probably most Italians is to enjoy figs with prosciutto. I like to eat figs picked straight from the tree as they have just been ripened from the summers sun. Most Italian households with serve a bowl of lettuce and tomatoes as a salad option with most meals, however this salad is a little more special. Enjoy it on it's own and soak up the remaining juices with some crusty bread or present it as a side dish. The figs can be lightly grilled if desired however I like to enjoy them fresh.
What you need:
4 fresh figs cut in quarters
100g of goats cheese crumbled
1/2 cups fresh walnuts (crack from the shell)
100g fresh rocket leaves
1/4 cups in total (half olive oil, half balsamic vinegar)
100g prosciutto di Parma (optional)
1: Mix the oil and vinegar together. Toss the rocket though the dressing until thoroughly coated. Present the dressed rocket leaves on a large platter
2: Place the prosciutto on top then arrange the remaining ingredients in layers. Alternatively serve the prosciutto on a side plate and serve with salad (or omit)
