Figs and feta are a great combination of sweet and salty. When complemented with a homemade balsamic and honey dressing the taste is enhanced giving your taste buds a party of their own!
Ingredients:
- 3 cups of your favorite salad mix (I like field greens with spinach)
- 1/4 cup diced scallions
- 1/2 cup dried figs diced- about 8 figs
- 1/4-1/2 cup plain feta cheese crumbled (too taste)
- One diced ripe avocado
Dressing:
- 1/2 cup olive oil
- 1/4 cup of balsamic vinegar
- 2 tbsp local honey
Whisk salad dressing ingredients very well and set aside. You can store in a glass jar with a lid.
Assemble your salad and toss gently dressing (amount optional).
Enjoy!

Sounds fabulous! And, I have all of those things in my house. That might just be tonight’s dinner.
I don’t personally like sweet with salty and I don’t know if I’ve ever had a fig. But interesting combination.
I think that sounds unusual but wonderful. I freeze and dry figs every summer from our tree so this will be a good recipe to use for some.
By the way I passed an award on to you. It is the middle post so scroll down once you get here: http://bit.ly/x74SAe
WOW! I am honored. I will go see it now. BTW- the figs with feta are awesome! It is my new salad (everyday). If you do not have figs, try dried dates.
Confession time – Ive never actually tried figs, how on earth do you find time to do all this cooking aswell as blogging, amazing x
Ya, you are nice but really it is my job! I am a dietitian who loves to eat good food. I just document what I do for my family as I do it. It is my way of leaving my legacy to my children- our family recipes and traditions!
Wow, looks delicious! I’ll have to come up with a way to make this work for my “Eat to Live” diet (no dairy/oil). I have a few ideas that I can’t wait to try.
What an interesting mix of ingredients!
