Ingredients

Green Figs - 4 pieces
Prosciutto - 2.8 oz
Arugula - 1.8 oz
Spinach - 1.8 oz

Step by Step guide

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 356°F. Make a cut in each fig with a sharp knife, opening it like a flower. Place it in the oven along with the prosciutto for 3–4 minutes or until the figs are warm and the prosciutto is slightly crispy. Let cool.

Step 2

Mix the spinach leaves with the arugula. Cut 2 figs into segments, leaving 2 in flower shape. Cut the blue cheese into small cubes and halve each strip of prosciutto.

Step 3

Prepare the dressing: in a small saucepan, reduce the mixture of orange juice and vinegar by about half. Remove from heat, mix with nut oil, salt, and pepper. Whisk lightly until smooth.

Step 4

On a plate, place the spinach and arugula mixture, topped with sliced figs, prosciutto, and cheese. In the center of the plate, place the whole fig. Sprinkle with pistachios and drizzle with dressing. Serve the salad slightly warm or cold.
