This is a well rounded salad. The combined sweetness of the figs, salty-ness of the Prosciutto and and crunch of the purslane make it hearty and tasty.
The figs were caramelized and deglazed with balsamic vinegar which makes up the dressing. Purslane is a weed that grows in sandy soil, often close to the sea. This weed has a delicious crunch and chewy texture that is high in vitamin C giving it a tart and grassy flavor.
