Summer is slowly going away, marking the beginning of la rentrée. Coming back to university (or work) after such a long time of sweet summer leisure requires a lot of energy. And there is no better energy boost than our delicious fig salad. It’s quick and easy to prepare what makes it perfect for pause déjeuner (which is sacred to the French). But above all, it combines all the best flavors that will make summer memories last a little bit longer.
Ingredients
For one salad you will need:
- beet greens
- arugula
- 2 figs (sliced)
- 3 slices of prosciutto ham
- goat cheese log
- walnuts
- balsamic glaze
Honey mustard sauce (2 servings):
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 3 tablespoons mustard
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- water
Preparation
Toast the walnuts in a pan with no oil, about 5-7 minutes, tossing occasionally. You can also use the oven instead. Spread the walnuts into a single layer on a baking sheet and roast them for 5-10 minutes. Let them cool for a while.
In the meantime, prepare the sauce. Add honey, mustard, olive oil, and a bit of water in a bowl. Blend the ingredients until the dressing is rich and creamy.
In a bowl, add a handful of beet greens and arugula, sliced figs, prosciutto ham, walnuts, and two slices off the goat cheese log. Add the dressing to your salad and toss everything together.
Drizzle the salad with balsamic glaze. Serve it with a warm and crispy baguette.
Bon appétit!
