Categories     Lettuce Salads

Time 15m

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 small fresh black mission figs, stemmed
extra-virgin olive oil
kosher salt
freshly ground black pepper
2 Tbsp honey
1 warm water
1/2 lemon, juiced
2 c baby mixed greens
1 handful each basil, chives and cilantro
4 oz gorgonzola or goat cheese, cut in big chunks

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  • 2. Cut a small "X" in the top of the figs and squeeze it gently to crown it slightly. Put the figs on a sheet pan and drizzle them with olive oil. Bake until the figs are soft and caramelized, about 15 minutes. Put the mixed greens and chopped herbs in a bowl, drizzle with a little olive oil and season with salt and pepper; toss gently with your hands.
  • 3. In a small bowl, combine the honey, warm water, and lemon juice; whisk with a fork to combine.
  • 4. To serve, divide the greens between 2 plates, mound the chunks of gorgonzola cheese on the side of each and place 2 roasted figs in the center of the salad. Drizzle the whole thing with the warm honey vinaigrette.
