Oh the glorious fig. They are summer love. Coming out only at the end of the hottest season, lingering through back to school and disappearing before things really get chilly. When you can get your hands on them, make this salad. The lemon-honey dressing is luscious. The fresh Italian pairings are delightful. But, truly these are just a frame for the ever so glorious fig.

Ingredients

  • 1 lemon, zest and juice
  • 1 teaspoon honey
  • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • 4 cups arugula, or baby spinach
  • 2 ounces fresh mozzarella, torn into pieces or pine nuts for no dairy
  • 2 slices prosciutto, cut or torn into bite-size pieces, optional
  • 6 figs, or more, fresh, cut in quarters

Serving Size: 2 People



 

Preparation Instructions

Whisk together the lemon juice and honey. Slowly whisk in the olive oil. Arrange the arugula or spinach on plates or in a large bowl. Top with the mozzarella & prosciutto pieces and arrange the figs, cut into quarters on top.

Finish with a drizzle of the dressing.
