Fig Salad To Die For!

I never liked fresh figs until this year. I used to think their leathery skin and their slimy insides were pretty gross, but now I'm their biggest fan. When I saw Jamie Oliver's recipe for a fig salad the picture looked so tasty I had to make it. 

Here's my version of the recipe for two people:

2 ripe figs

1/2 mozzarella

2 slices Parma ham

Dressing:

3 tblsp olive oil

1 1/2 tblsp lemon juice

1 tblsp balsamic vinegar

1/2 tblsp honey

salt and pepper to taste

Cut a cross into the figs starting at the stem. Place pieces of mozzarella and ham around the figs and lightly pour dressing over the whole assembly. 

This recipe is so simple, looks amazing and tastes absolutely fabulous!
