Easiest  Sexiest Salad ..by Jamie Oliver

this recipe was reviewed so many times at the German recipe board I am on I made it and I am a fanatic too - lol... it is really easy and a nice potluck dish or a light supper.... serve this with a fresh flatbread or ciabatta... Alissa

For the salad
6 ripe figs
6 slices prosciutto or Parma ham
A good handful of green or purple basil
6 small balls buffalo mozzarella, torn

For the Honey and Lemon Juice Dressing:
1 tablespoon good honey
6 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
3 tablespoons lemon juice
Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper

Directions
Cut a criss-cross in the figs, but not quite to the bottom, and then, using your thumb and forefinger, squeeze the base of the fig to reveal the inside.

Place the figs on a large plate and weave around I piece of prosciutto or Palma ham around each fig.

Add the ripped up basil and the buffalo mozzarella.

Drizzle over the honey, making sure each fig has some in the middle, then drizzle the olive oil, lemon juice, and salt and pepper.

Or: Mix all the dressing ingredients together in a bowl and season, to taste, then drizzle everything with the honey and lemon juice dressing.
