Red Leaf, Fig and Serrano Ham Salad


Right. I effed this recipe up. I know, how do you eff up a salad? Well, you forget to add a key ingredient. In this case I forgot the fig. Now I do want to qualify that though because with there being so few ingredients you may wonder how I forgot a key ingredient listed in the the frickin title. Well, I was frantic at the time I was making this salad. I was not my usual self. I was upto my eyeballs in it and throwing this salad together was just a hodge-podge. Also -the fact that I could not for the life of me find fresh figs in the middle of the Canadian friggin winter wasn't helping any. I settled for dried figs in the grocery store (and yes I looked in more stores than just my shitty Metro). Then at home they were in the cupboard and not on the counter in my face and the old adage "out of sight, out of mind" came into play. However, even without the fig, the salad is a nice change from the ordinary and I suggest you try this out next time your looking for a little variety in the salad department.
