This crazy delicious salad came together as a bunch of leftovers. And it turned out to be the most delicious fig, golden beet and prosciutto salad. This crazy delicious salad came together as a bunch of leftovers. I had leftover golden beets from making my golden beet, carrot and turmeric smoothie. And I had leftover figs from making my blueberry chia pudding with figs, hazlenuts and maple syrup. Of course, I had the prosciutto and arugula in the fridge, because well, I kinda always have those things on the ready!
