Heidi posted a recipe in the German recipe group rk-suite Rezepte ( which is the support group for RezkonvSuite, the IMHO best 'recipe organizing software' on the market ), which I absolutely had to try. It is a fig prosciutto salad, a very simple, but elegant appetizer. It's easy and you can prepare it way in advance.
The recipe is by Jamie Oliver, whose recipes I love for their simplicity and this special something, they always have. In this case he combined fresh and plummy figs, mozzarella and prosciutto ( I used the German prosciutto from Stockmayr, which you can by at Trader Joe's ) with a sweet, lemony dressing. He named it ' Quite simple the world's best salad '. Maybe, he's right with that:-)

Directions
For the dressing combine everything and whisk with a small whisk, until it's smooth. Set aside.
Cut the figs from the tips not quite to the bottom twice, like a cross. Push them open, so that you can see the flesh. Put the figs on a small plate, wrap them with prosciutto, sprinkle with mozzarella pieces and torn basil. Drizzle with the honey lemon dressing, be sure, to get some dressing in the figs.
Ralph. Simple, very good. Used tomatoes with the mozzarella.
