Grilled Black Fig and Burrata Salad is so easy! The combination of flavors in this salad makes for a delicious and interesting way to enjoy fresh black figs while they are in season. So, with just a few minutes and the right ingredients, you’ll have this salad on the table as either an accompaniment to a meal or as a meal itself!

Black figs are available in our area for many months from spring to winter. We try to eat a variety of fruits and vegetables, but easy preparation is key in my toot sweet life! What better way to enhance the mild flavor of figs than to grill them with pungent and sweet balsamic vinegar? Add the luscious creaminess of Burrata cheese and a few bits of grilled prosciutto, place all on a bed of field greens, and you have a different and delicious salad packed full of nutrients!

Here’s what you do:

Wash and dry several black figs.
Slice each fig in half.
Spray a grill pan with non-stick cooking spray and heat on medium-high heat. Pour a small amount of balsamic vinegar into a bowl and set on the counter beside the grill pan.
Place the figs on the grill pan, cut side up.
With small spoon, drizzle balsamic vinegar over each fig half.
Continue grilling figs for a few minutes, then turn over and grill the other side.
Add a slice of prosciutto to the grill pan and cook until somewhat crispy. Remove both the figs and the prosciutto from the grill pan.
Carefully tear the prosciutto into bite-size pieces (careful! It will be hot!).
Put a cup and a half of field greens on each salad plate.
Remove one Burrata cheese ball from its container.
Slice Burrata cheese ball into fourths.
Put one piece of the creamy Burrata cheese in the center of each plate.

Top each salad with 4 figs halves and several pieces of the torn prosciutto. Serve with additional balsamic vinaigrette, such as Newman’s Own Lite Balsamic dressing, if desired.
