Instructions
- To make the vinaigrette, mix the orange juice, vinegar, mustard and orange zest in a small bowl. Whisk in the oil until thoroughly combined.
- Place the lettuce in a large bowl. Drizzle the vinaigrette over the lettuce and gently mix to coat. Divide the lettuce among four serving plates.
- Quarter the figs lengthwise. If desired, use a sharp knife to make small incisions just underneath to skin to make it easier to remove the flesh when eating.
- Place the figs beside the lettuce. Arrange the prosciutto strips and basil over the figs and shave the parmesan over the top to serve.
Recipe Notes
Tip: If fresh figs are not available, you can substitute dried figs- coarsely chop one soft, dried fig per person and sprinkle over the salad.
