Fig and Crispy Prosciutto Salad image

I created this salad to go with Recipe #239502. Everyone thought it was a winner! I used truffle oil, but it would probably be good with olive oil as well.

Although frying the prosciutto adds crisp texture to the salad, if you prefer, you can simply cut it into ribbons and use it as a garnish. Honey can be substituted for the jam in this recipe
