Yield Serves 6

Number Of Ingredients 9

For vinaigrette
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
1/2 teaspoon Dijon mustard
freshly ground black pepper to taste
6 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 large bunches arugula (about 1/2 pound total)
6 firm-ripe green or purple figs (about 1/2 pound)
6 to 8 large thin prosciutto slices (preferably San Daniele; about 6 ounces total)
a piece Parmigiano-Reggiano (about 1/3 pound)

Steps:

  • Make vinaigrette
  • In a small bowl whisk together vinegar, mustard, pepper, and salt to taste. In a slow stream whisk in oil until emulsified.
  • Discard stems from arugula and transfer leaves to a large bowl. Trim tough stem ends from figs and cut each fig into 8 wedges. Trim some of fat from prosciutto if desired. Halve 6 prosciutto slices lengthwise. Overlap narrow ends of 2 halves by 1 to 2 inches, pressing together gently, to form 6 pieces about 13 inches long (use remaining 2 prosciutto slices if necessary). Transfer long prosciutto pieces as prepared to a tray lined with plastic wrap. With a vegetable peeler shave about 36 thin slices from Parmigiano-Reggiano.
  • Toss arugula with about 3 tablespoons vinaigrette and mound in center of each of 6 plates. Arrange long prosciutto pieces in a ring around each mound of arugula, overlapping ends to secure . Arrange figs and Parmigiano-Reggiano shavings on and around salad and drizzle salads with remaining vinaigrette.

DRIED FIG, GOAT CHEESE AND ARUGULA SALAD



Dried Fig, Goat Cheese and Arugula Salad image

Another tasty looking recipe that I found on a supermarket circular. The combination of figs and goat is such a pleasure, I'm looking forward to trying this. When I finally get around to making this, will probably look for some ways to reduce the oil in the dressing.

Make and share this Fig, Prosciutto and Arugula Salad recipe from Food.com.

Provided by Xexe383

Categories     Fruit

Time 30m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

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:

  • Choose ripe, fresh figs for the best flavor. Look for figs that are plump and have a slight give when you press them.
  • If you can't find fresh figs, you can use dried figs instead. Just be sure to soak them in warm water for about 30 minutes before using.
  • Use a good quality balsamic vinegar for the dressing. A good balsamic vinegar will have a thick, syrupy consistency and a sweet and tangy flavor.
  • If you don't have arugula, you can use another type of salad green, such as spinach or romaine lettuce.
  • You can add other ingredients to the salad, such as crumbled goat cheese, toasted walnuts, or sliced almonds.

Conclusion:

This fig and arugula salad is a delicious and refreshing summer salad. It's perfect for a light lunch or dinner. The sweetness of the figs pairs perfectly with the peppery arugula and the tangy balsamic vinegar dressing. This salad is also very easy to make, so it's a great option for busy weeknights.
