I've made this salad with both fresh and dried figs and they both work well. I prefer the flavor of fresh figs, but dried figs are a good option if you don't have any fresh ones on hand.

This salad is a great way to use up leftover prosciutto. I always have some in my fridge and this is a great way to use it up.
