Fig and Iberian Ham Salad: Gourmet Recipe

This salad is a true festival of contrasts. The syrupy sweetness of brevas (the first fruit of the fig tree) is masterfully combined with the salty touch of Iberian ham and the freshness of the green shoots. To balance these powerful flavors and enhance the freshness of the fruit without adding sodium, we will use Bonsalt 0%.

Ingredients

• 150g tender shoots (arugula, lamb's lettuce, or baby spinach)

• 4 ripe brevas (or figs if it is out of season)

• 80g acorn-fed Iberian ham (thinly sliced or shaved)

• Ground black pepper

Professional Step-by-Step Preparation

1. Salad base: Arrange the tender shoots on a large platter or on two individual plates, creating an airy bed.

2. Fruit preparation: Wash the brevas carefully, remove the stem, and cut them into quarters or slices. Arrange them attractively over the greens.

3. Adding the ham: Distribute the slices of Iberian ham so they are interwoven with the brevas, allowing the ham fat to warm slightly on contact with the rest of the ingredients.

4. Textures and nuances: Add the crumbled goat cheese and toasted walnuts to bring a crunchy, creamy touch to the dish.

5. Vinaigrette: In a small jar, mix the olive oil, vinegar, a pinch of pepper, and Bonsalt 0% Sodium Castello. Shake well until emulsified.

6. Final touch: Dress the salad just before serving to keep the greens crisp and enjoy the burst of flavors.
