Roasted Figs With Baby Greens And Honey Vinaigrette

Recipe Ingredients

4		Fresh black mission figs - stemmed (small)
		Extra-virgin olive oil
		Kosher salt - to taste
		Freshly-ground black pepper - to taste
3 tablespoons	45ml	Orange blossom honey
1 tablespoon	15ml	Warm water
1/2		Lemon - juiced
2 cups	220g / 7.8oz	Baby mixed greens
1		Handful fresh parsley - finely chopped
1		Handful fresh basil - finely chopped
1		Handful fresh chives - finely chopped
4 oz	113g	Gorgonzola - cut in big chunks

Recipe Instructions

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.

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, drizzle them with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. 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.

In a small bowl, combine the honey, warm water, and lemon juice; whisk with a fork to combine.

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.

This recipe yields 2 servings.
