    ¾ cup fresh ricotta



  • Finely chop the fresh rosemary leaves. Sprinkle this over your platter, drizzle with the extra virgin olive oil and honey. Sprinkle with black pepper and serve.

    1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
    1 teaspoon honey
    black pepper



Notes

  1. You want figs that are soft and juicy. Any variety of fig works for this salad go with whatever looks best at the grocery store. You'll find that the season will dictate what varieties you can find at the store!
  2. Most grocery stores sell good quality prosciutto these days. It is best served at room temperature.
  3. Always by the full fat ricotta, the low fat ones are awful both in taste and texture. Make sure you buy regular ricotta rather than the smooth spreadable kind.
  4. Go for fresh rosemary, dried would be a disaster here. If you don't have rosemary then you could use thyme leaves or some basil leaves.
