Add all the dressing ingredients to a small bowl, whisk thoroughly, then season with salt and pepper to taste. On a serving platter, arrange the melon and figs and rocket leaves. Take each strip of Parma ham and roll it loosely into a ‘rose’, tucking in the ham amongst the fruit. Scatter the walnuts over the salad and finish the dish by drizzling over the fig dressing. Serve immediately.
