Time 35m

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 small fresh black mission figs, stemmed
Extra-virgin olive oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
3 tablespoons orange blossom honey
1 tablespoon warm water
1/2 lemon, juiced
2 cups baby mixed greens
1 handful each assorted fresh herbs, such as parsley, basil, and chives, finely chopped
4 ounces gorgonzola, cut in big chunks

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  • 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.
