Fresh Fig and Mint Salad

As a variation on this recipe, you could serve thin slices of country ham or prosciutto topped with the figs and dabbled with mint whipped cream and raspberry puree. Or you could do a smaller version of the garden salad, with goat cheese and figs. Another fruit salad favorite of mine is white peaches with a basil vinaigrette and rose peppercorns. The quantities given here are for a main luncheon course.
