Radicchio, spanish onion, fig and prosciutto salad

(serves 2)

Figs are still in season and they are just the best ingredient to instantly jazz up your salad with some classiness and sweet summer style! Their  sweet, soft, juicy nature makes pairing it up pretty easy; choose something slightly bitter, something crunchy and/or something salty and you have a winning combo! Caramelising slightly less ripe figs with a touch of brown sugar under the grill works well too!

Prosciutto and figs are such great friends, maybe because they bring back these lovely memories of summer in Italy :)
