Prosciutto Fig And Mozzarella Salad Recipes

PROSCIUTTO, FIG, AND MOZZARELLA SALAD

Steps:

• In a small bowl, whisk vinegar and oil; season with salt and pepper. Reserve at least 1 tablespoon dressing (for drizzling); set aside. Place arugula in a large bowl; toss with remaining dressing.
• Divide arugula among four serving plates. Dividing evenly, top with bocconcini, prosciutto, and figs; drizzle all with reserved dressing.

MARINATED FIGS WITH PROSCIUTTO, MOZZARELLA & BASIL

Steps:

• Cut the figs into 16 wedges and sit them in a non-metallic bowl. Mix together the oil and vinegar, then pour it over the figs. Season well with salt and pepper, and leave to marinate at room temperature for about 30 minutes.
• When the figs have marinated, thread each wedge on to a wooden skewer with some prosciutto, mozzarella and a basil leaf. The order in which you thread them is entirely up to you.
• Once you have made all 16, sit them on a plate and drizzle over the remaining marinade. Serve at room temperature rather than straight from the fridge, so all the flavours are at their best.

FIG AND CRISPY PROSCIUTTO SALAD

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Place slices of prosciutto flat on parchment paper over a baking sheet. Bake about 13 minutes, or until fairly crisp. Remove from oven and let cool slightly. Break the prosciutto up into pieces and set aside.
• Assemble salad with the spinach and basil on the bottom. Top with figs and crispy prosciutto, and dress with balsamic vinegar and truffle oil, to taste.

MEDITERRANEAN FIG & MOZZARELLA SALAD

Steps:

• In a large saucepan of salted water, blanch the beans for 2-3 mins. Drain, rinse in cold water, then drain on kitchen paper. Arrange on a platter. Top with the figs, shallots, mozzarella, hazelnuts and basil.
• In a small bowl or jam jar with fitted lid, add the vinegar, fig jam, olive oil and some seasoning. Shake well and pour over salad just before serving.
