Fig, Golden Beet and Prosciutto Salad with Fig Vinaigrette
Description
The Fig, Golden Beet and Prosciutto Salad with Fig Vinaigrette features a bed of fresh arugula topped with juicy halved figs, chunks of boiled golden beets, and thinly sliced prosciutto rolled for added texture. The beets are carefully boiled until tender and cooled to maintain their bright color and mild sweetness.
The fig vinaigrette is crafted by pulsing fresh figs with olive oil, champagne vinegar, minced shallot, Dijon mustard, and seasoning to provide a balance of sweet, tart, and savory notes. This dressing enhances the mix of peppery greens and the combination of sweet and salty elements in the salad.
As a fresh salad, it is well-suited as a light starter or side dish. The mix of textures—from the crisp arugula to soft figs and tender beets—creates variety in each bite. The prosciutto adds a savory component that enriches the overall flavor profile.
Ingredients
- 6 cups arugula
- 12 figs halved
- 8 lices prosciutto
- 4 golden beet
Fig Vinaigrette
- 3 figs
- 1/3 cup olive oil
- 3 tbsp champagne vinegar
- 1 tsp shallot finely diced
- 1 tsp Dijon mustard
- pinch salt
- pinch black pepper
Instructions
- Wash and cut the stems off the golden beets. Bring a pot of water to a boil, gently drop in the beets into the pot and boil for 30-40 minutes or until easily punctured with a knife.
- Remove the beets and let cool for a few minutes. Peel the beets and slice into small chunks. Place in the refrigerator for 10 minutes to cool.
- Assemble the salad by combining the arugula, figs and beets. Slice each prosciutto piece in half lengthwise, then roll up.
- Make the dressing by combining all ingredients in a food processor and pulse until combined. Add the dressing to the salad and serve immediately.
