Crisp Prosciutto Fig Salad With Mozarella

My hungry husband is going thru a prosciutto phase. So I wanted to create a new setting for his favorite snack. This is the result. A green salad with crisp prosciutto, smooth mozarella, fresh figs and crunchy croutons drizzled with a maple balsamico dressing. While we enjoyed the salad for dinner, it occured to me that it would also make a great sandwich or pizza…soon to come!

• 6-8 slices of prosciutto
• 1 cup / 240 ml mozarella pieces
