Another tasty looking recipe that I found on a supermarket circular. The combination of figs and goat is such a pleasure, I'm looking forward to trying this. When I finally get around to making this, will probably look for some ways to reduce the oil in the dressing.

ARUGULA AND GOAT CHEESE SALAD

Arugula and Goat Cheese Salad image

This recipe is from "Alive" Magazine. I used greengrapes instead of red - Red will be nicer but I had green on hand. The "Alive" recipe calls for 1/4 cup Hemp Hearts I didn't have any so omitted them. This is adifferent very enjoyable salad - The Grapes are a must that help blend all the flavors together

Time 15m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

Ingredients

1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
3 tablespoons virgin olive oil
salt & pepper
10 ounces baby arugula, washed and dried
3/4 cup red seedless grapes
2 ounces plain goat cheese, crumbled
2 tablespoons capers, rinsed and dried

Steps:

Whisk together the mustard, lemon juice & oil (I mixed mine in my mini mixer).
Place Arugula in a large bowl and toss with the dressing.
Divide between 4 plates.
Sprinkle grapes, cheese, cper & hemp heart over the arugula.
Serve.

Tips:

Choose ripe figs: Look for figs that are plump and slightly soft to the touch. Avoid figs that are hard or have any blemishes.
Toast the walnuts: Toasting the walnuts will bring out their flavor and make them more crunchy. You can toast them in a dry skillet over medium heat for 5-7 minutes, or in a preheated oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 10-12 minutes.
Use a good quality balsamic vinegar: The balsamic vinegar is a key ingredient in the dressing, so make sure to use a good quality one. Look for a balsamic vinegar that is aged for at least 12 years.
Don't overdress the salad: A little dressing goes a long way, so be careful not to overdress the salad. You can always add more dressing if needed, but it's hard to take it away.

Conclusion:

This dried fig, goat cheese, and arugula salad is a delicious and refreshing salad that is perfect for any occasion. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. The combination of sweet figs, tangy goat cheese, and peppery arugula is sure to please everyone at your table.
