| Fig, Prosciutto and Arugula Salad (printer friendly) One of my all-time favorite salads! Serves 6  2 large bunches arugula6 fresh firm-ripe green or purple figs 6 to 8 large thin prosciutto slices Parmigiano-Reggiano (about 1/3 pound) Megan's Salad Dressing (found in recipe file, under salads) 1. Discard stems from arugula and wash thoroughly. Transfer leaves to a large bowl and mix with the salad dressing. 2. Trim tough stem ends from figs and cut each fig into 8 wedges. 3. Halve prosciutto slices lengthwise. 4. With a vegetable peeler shave thin slices from Parmigiano-Reggiano. 5. Mound arugula in center of each of 6 plates. Arrange prosciutto pieces in a ring around each mound of arugula, overlapping ends to secure. Arrange figs and Parmigiano-Reggiano shavings on and around salad. |
