Ingredients:
- 6 figs (Italian if possible, as they are in season from June to August – Greek
figs September to November)
- 6 slices of prosciutto
- Soft buffalo mozzarella
- Thai basil (or purple)
- 6 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon of good quality honey (Dandelion or Blackcurrent honey, if you’re
feeling fancy)
- Sea salt and fresh ground black pepper to taste
Directions:
- Make the base of your salad using the Thai basil
- Cut at least six slices of buffalo mozzarella and place on top of the
basil.
- Cut an ‘X’ into the top of each fig, and then pinch the bottom of each one so
that the top kind of ‘blossoms’ out exposing the inside of the fig which will allow
it to absorb the great dressing.
- Take each slice of prosciutto and wrap them around the base of each fig
- Place the figs with prosciutto on top of the buffalo mozzarella
- Mix the olive oil, lemon juice, honey with a bit of sea salt and pepper and then
drizzle over everything.
