Arugula and Prosciutto Appetizers

Quick and easy appetizers that are both gluten and dairy free don't have to be lame on taste. How many times do you stand at a snack table and see the same boring offerings of crackers and cheese? Or fattening dairy dips?

Next time bring your own noshes to table and say goodbye to the cracker box. These tasty Arugula and Prosciutto morsels offer a little spicy crunch from the arugula, a touch of salty from the prosciutto and a hint of sweet from the jam. The last time I set these out among a plethora of other goodies, they were the first to go.

Keep yourself fat and happy with these simple nibbles.

Simple Arugula and Prosciutto Appetizers

Arugula

Prosciutto, thinly sliced

Fig jam

Olive oil (optional)

Lay a piece of prosciutto on the work surface; depending how big you want these you may only need half a slice (I usually halve each piece lengthwise.) Slather with the fig jam and pile a small handful of arugula on top. Carefully roll the prosciutto up as tightly as possible.

Set on the final serving tray, continue until you have as many as needed.

Drizzle a very thin amount of olive oil over the finished tray. Enjoy!
