Cut the figs crosswise up to the base of the stalk, then press the figs together at the bottom with your thumb and forefinger so that they open and you can see the inside of the fruit.
Wrap each fruit with a slice of Parma ham and place in a bowl. Spread the mozzarella pieces in between and sprinkle with roughly shredded basil.
Then mix a dressing from the above ingredients and drizzle it over the salad. It is important that a little dressing gets inside the figs.
Add some bread to soak up the remains of the dressing - it would be a shame!
