Fresh Fig, Prosciutto, and Arugula Salad with Parmesan Shavings image

Categories     Salad     Parmesan     Fig     Arugula     Summer     Prosciutto     Gourmet

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.

This salad was okay. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything special either. I think it could have used more flavor. I might try adding some chopped walnuts or goat cheese next time.

This salad was a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I would have preferred it with a different type of dressing. The figs were also a bit too ripe. Overall, I wasn't a huge fan of this salad.

I love this salad! It's so refreshing and flavorful. The combination of figs, prosciutto, and arugula is perfect. I also like that it's a relatively healthy salad. I will definitely be making this again.

This salad was easy to make and very tasty. I used a store-bought balsamic vinaigrette and it was still delicious. The figs were perfectly ripe and the prosciutto was nice and crispy. I would definitely make this salad again.

This salad is absolutely delicious! The flavors and textures all come together perfectly. I especially love the contrast between the sweet figs and the salty prosciutto. I will definitely be making this salad again and again.

I've made this salad several times now and it's always a crowd-pleaser. It's so easy to make and the ingredients are readily available. I love that I can use fresh figs from my own tree. The dressing is also very versatile. I've used a balsamic vinai
