Ingredients
Grana Padano PDO, shaved, 150 g
Datterino or cherry tomatoes, 200 g
Small melon, 1
Ripe figs, 8
Mixed salad leaves, 100 g
Extra virgin olive oil, 4 tablespoons
Lemon juice, 1/2
Salt, to taste
Black pepper, to taste
Method
Wash the salad leaves thoroughly and gently pat them dry. Wash the cherry tomatoes too and cut them in half or into quarters, depending on their size.
Cut the melon in half, remove the seeds inside and scoop out balls using a melon baller, or cut it into even cubes. Wash the figs and cut them into wedges without removing the skin.
Arrange the salad leaves in a large salad bowl or on individual plates, then add the cherry tomatoes, melon and figs.
Dress the salad with extra virgin olive oil, lemon juice, a pinch of salt and a grind of black pepper. Toss gently so as not to spoil the fruit.
Finish with the Grana Padano PDO shavings and serve at once, so that the freshness and textures of the ingredients stay intact.
