Fig & Apple Savory Salad
The delicious tastes of fall in one recipe! Velvety figs, crisp apples, and creamy goat cheese.
Ingredients
- Fresh Salad Greens Arugula and Romaine
- 1 handful walnuts chopped and toasted
- 5 figs quartered
- 1 apple cut in large slices
- 1 cup goat cheese crumpled
- 1 handful parsley chopped
- 1 grilled chicken breast optional
For Homemade Dressing
- 3 Tablespoons olive oil extra virgin
- 1 Tablespoons balsamic vinegar
- 1 Teaspoon mustard dijon
- 1 Teaspoon maple syrup
Instructions
- Wash all your produce and place the lettuce leaves in a bowl.
- Quarter figs, slice apples, and chop walnuts. Lightly toast walnuts in a cast iron or non stick pan without oil.
- Add all ingredients of the salad to a bowl including the goat cheese. In a separate bowl mix together the homemade maple balsamic vinegette ingredients. Add dressing as needed. I would go light first and toss to combine. Then serve the salad on a platter scattered with chopped fresh parsley.
Notes
You'll want to keep an eye on the walnuts, they can burn easily when toasting.
We like to add grilled chicken from Trader Joe's to this salad to make it more of an entree salad.
