Prosciutto Fig Salad with Fig Balsamic Dressing is a hearty, healthy dinner salad made with fresh figs. With crunchy walnuts and salty prosciutto, this easy salad recipe will welcome your taste buds with loads of flavor and texture.
I had to recreate a salad that I had a couple of weekends ago when dining out for our anniversary. We had a wonderful meal at Wahoo! Grill in Decatur, GA. This dinner salad hasn’t escaped my mind since I left that night, so here is my version (without knowing their original recipe). It was a pretty good guess, though I didn’t saute the prosciutto until crispy (that is optional…I like it sliced just as it is..) The blend of fresh, sweet seasonal figs and the saltiness of the prosciutto ham is a heavenly combo.
And the fig balsamic dressing on this prosciutto salad…OMG! So damn good!
