Ingredients

Servings
  • 8 cups spinach & arugula mix
  • 8-12 figs stems removed, sliced or chopped
  • 4 oz fresh goat cheese crumbled

balsamic fig dressing:

  • 4 figs stems removed and halved
  • 1/4 TBS extra virgin olive oil
  • 2.5 TBS balsamic vinegar
  • 1.5 TBS pure maple syrup may leave out if you really like vinegar
  • 1/4 tsp vanilla extract optional but makes for unique flavor
  • 1 tsp Stone ground mustard
  • salt & pepper to taste
  • 3-4 TBS water to thin
  • additional topping ideas: choice of protein avocado, nuts, seeds, peaches, etc.

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl add spinach & arugula mix, sliced figs and crumbled goat cheese.
  2. In a small food processor or blender add figs, extra virgin olive oil, balsamic vinegar, pure maple syrup, vanilla extract, stone ground mustard, and couple dashes of salt & pepper if you wish. Start with about 3 tablespoons of water and blend until smooth. If you'd like a thinner dressing, add another tablespoon or so of water and blend again.
  3. Toss salad with dressing to coat, or allow guests to serve themselves.

Notes

  • -This fig salad would make a great lunch option with additional toppings and your favorite protein.-Store leftover dressing in fridge up to 1 week. Also makes a great chicken marinade for the grill!
