Amber Fig-Prosciutto-Basil Salad
Ingredients
Salads & Side Dishes
  • 1 lb. fresh or dried figs
  • 1 (22-oz.) bottle of Alaskan Amber, separated
  • 3 slices prosciutto, slivered
  • Bottled balsamic salad dressing
  • 1 head green leave lettuce
  • 6 fresh basil leaves, slivered
  • Zest from 1 lemon
    •  

    Methods/steps
    Remove most of the stems from the figs and cut them nearly in quarters, leaving them attached at the base. Press them at the base so the top opens out like a flower. Marinate the fig flowers in ¾ cup of beer for ½ to 1 hour.

    Marinate prosciutto into strips and marinate in ½ cup beer for ½ to 1 hour.

    Whisk ½ cup of beer into 1 cup of balsamic dressing.

    Wash, then tear lettuce into bite-sized pieces in a large bowl. Toss with basil and prosciutto. Arrange salad mixture on serving platter, then place figs on, flower side up. Sprinkle with lemon zest and top with dressing.
