1 block (8 ounces) French feta cheese
8 ounces fresh figs, halved lengthwise if desired
2 to 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
1/2 cup fresh mint leaves

Steps:

  • Put feta on a serving platter. Arrange figs over and around feta. Drizzle figs and cheese with oil; season with salt and pepper. Sprinkle with mint.

Tips:

  • Use ripe and flavorful figs. Look for figs that are plump and have a deep color. Avoid figs that are bruised or have blemishes.
  • Choose a good quality feta cheese. Look for feta that is made from sheep's milk or a blend of sheep's and goat's milk. Avoid feta that is made from cow's milk, as it will not have the same flavor.
  • Use fresh mint leaves. Mint adds a refreshing flavor to the salad. If you don't have fresh mint, you can use dried mint, but it will not have the same flavor.
  • Make the dressing ahead of time. The dressing can be made up to 3 days in advance. Store it in the refrigerator in an airtight container.
  • Serve the salad immediately. The salad is best served immediately after it is made. If you need to make it ahead of time, you can store it in the refrigerator for up to 2 hours.

Conclusion:

Fig, feta, and mint salad is a delicious and refreshing salad that is perfect for summer. It is easy to make and can be made with just a few ingredients. The combination of sweet figs, salty feta, and refreshing mint is irresistible. This salad is sure to be a hit at your next party or potluck.
