Toast the pine nuts in a dry frying pan. Leave to cool. Tear the Parma ham slices in large pieces. Place the figs in a bowl along with the salad leaves and pine nuts. At the last minute, season with the balsamic vinegar, olive oil and freshly ground black pepper. Gently mix together. Serve by placing a bunch of salad leaves on the centre of the plates and garnish them with the figs and ham pieces. With a vegetable peeler, cut thin slices of parmesan to finish.
