Fig, Golden Beet and Prosciutto Salad with Fig Vinaigrette
This salad combines peppery arugula, sweet figs, earthy golden beets, and savory prosciutto, dressed with a fig vinaigrette that complements each ingredient's natural flavors. The beets are boiled and chilled to retain a tender bite, while the prosciutto is sliced thinly and rolled for texture. The dressing blends figs with olive oil, champagne vinegar, and shallot for a fruity, tangy finish.
