This salad is too expensive to make regularly. The figs and prosciutto are both very pricey.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my salad didn't turn out as good as I hoped. The dressing was too oily and the arugula was too peppery.

This salad is a great way to showcase seasonal ingredients. The figs and prosciutto are at their best in the summer.

I'm not usually a fan of arugula, but this salad changed my mind. The peppery flavor of the arugula was balanced out perfectly by the sweetness of the figs and the saltiness of the prosciutto.

This arugula salad was a hit at my dinner party! The combination of sweet figs, salty prosciutto, crunchy walnuts, and nutty Parmesan was simply divine. The dressing was light and tangy, perfectly complementing the flavors of the salad.
