Ingredients

5 fresh figs

½ rockmelon

300g washed leafy salad mixture

200g feta cheese

100g good quality prosciutto

For the dressing

½ fresh onion

1 teaspoon of Dijon mustard

1 teaspoon of honey

1 tablespoon of apple cider vinegar

4 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil

Salt & pepper

Preparation

Wash figs, dry them and cut them in quarters.

Dice the rockmelon.

Cut Feta into small pieces.

Cut prosciutto in 2cm wide strips.

Put salad mix, feta cheese, figs, rockmelon and prosciutto in large salad bowl.

For the dressing, finely dice onion and place in small bowl. Add mustard, honey, vinegar, oil and some salt & pepper.  Mix well.

Add the dressing just before serving and toss all ingredients delicately.

(If you have time, you can prepare the dressing the day before. Mix all ingredients in a jar, close tight and shake. Keep in the fridge overnight. Your dressing will have more taste and the onion won’t taste as strong. Alternatively, if you decide to prepare the dressing on the spot, you can blanch the onion in boiled water for 1 minute to weaken the flavour.)
