FOR THE DRESSING:
1 (15-ounce) can whole fig in syrup, drained
1/3 cup sherry red wine vinegar, (or a combination of equal parts balsamic and red wine vinegars)
1 clove garlic, halved
2 teaspoons crushed dried rosemary
2 teaspoons kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/4 cup orange juice
1/4 cup grapeseed oil or other mild-flavored oil

FOR THE SALAD:
3 ounces chopped prosciutto (about 3/4 cup)
1 medium red onion, diced
1 large head Romaine lettuce, or 3 romaine hearts, trimmed and torn into bite-size pieces
2 (7-ounce) bags baby spinach

To make the dressing, puree the dressing ingredients in a blender or food processor until smooth.

To make the salad, sauté the prosciutto in a medium skillet over medium heat until its fat renders and some of the pieces get crisp at their edges. Add the onion and cook for a minute to soften slightly. Toss the romaine and spinach in a large salad bowl. Add the dressing, prosciutto, and onion toss. Serve immediately.
