Ingredients 
US Customary - Metric

  • 5 oz baby arugula
  • 1 large fennel bulb, thinly shaved/sliced
  • 2-3 small Persian cucumbers, sliced
  • 1 small bunch fresh basil, chopped
  • 4 slices prosciutto
  • 8 oz burrata cheese
  • 10 small figs, quartered
  • 1/4 cup pistachios, salted & roasted; chopped
  • 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
  • 2 tbsp honey
  • 2 tbsp balsamic glaze
  • sea salt & ground black pepper, to taste

Instructions

Preparing the Salad Ingredients:

  • Start by prepping some of the ingredients: slice the cucumbers, quarter the figs, chop the fresh basil, and chop the pistachios.
  • Trim the green parts off the fennel bulb and save them for garnish. Also trim off the bottom and any brown bits. Use a mandolin slicer to very thinly shave the fennel bulb.

How to Make Fig Salad:

  • On a large serving platter or in a large salad bowl, combine the baby arugula with the thinly sliced fennel. Toss the two together until they’re well combined.
  • Next, top the salad with sliced cucumbers and chopped fresh basil. Pull apart the prosciutto slices into small, bite-sized pieces and add those next.
  • Gently pull apart the burrata cheese and drop the cheese evenly over the top of the salad. Next, top with the quartered figs.
  • Garnish the salad with diced pistachios and sprigs of fennel greens.
  • When ready to enjoy, season the salad generously with sea salt and ground black pepper.

Dressing the Salad:

  • Drizzle olive oil over the top, followed by honey and balsamic glaze. Dig in and enjoy!
  • Enjoy this salad on its own, or pair with grilled steaks, roasted chicken, roasted lamb, or duck.
