"Such a classic, but such a delicious salad; and, takes just minutes to put together. I happen to use gorgonzola cheese for this salad; but, blue cheese or goat cheese are equally as good. Also, pomegranate balsamic vinegar is pretty common these days. My local grocery stores carry them; but, I know Trader Joes, Whole Foods, and most gourmet shops usually carry it. It is a fantastic condiment to have on hand - not only for this recipe; but, for many others. This makes a great lunch salad; or, perfect for entertaining."

Step by Step Method

Step 1

Salad ... Add the greens to either a serving platter or individual salad plates. I love to serve this family style. Top with the figs, prosciutto slices; and, garnish with the cheese, and walnuts. Drizzle with the olive oil and balsamic vinegar. Season with salt and pepper.

Step 2

Note: I get my prosciutto right from the deli, and ask for 10 slices. This way you can get exactly what you need, and how you like it sliced. Then, I like to cut each slice in thinner strips and just fold very simply over the salad. You can always cut or dice it up, but I prefer not too. I like to serve it very rustic.

Step 3

Serve and ENJOY!

Wonderful flavour . It is such a treat to find fresh figs and I am sure happy that I tried your recipe. I used blue cheese. Mixef lettuce from the garden. I could not find pomegranate balsamic so used my very well aged regular balsamic. Then I thought perhaps add some pomegrantate seeds but not the right season. It was wonderful the way I made it.
