I was doing roasted fig salad when I was cooking the British Virgin Islands food. I slightly modified the original recipe so it is time to write it down or I’ll forget it.

Fig Salad with Roasted Pecans

Ingredients:

• 16 fresh figs (the number of figs really depends on the size of your party)
• 1 bag of spring mix salad (I buy mine at Trader Joe’s)
• 1/2 cup of Gorgonzola cheese
• 1/2 cup of whole walnuts or pecans (I prefer pecans)
• 1/4 cup of Olive Oil
• 2 oz Balsamic Vinegar

Roast nuts in 350 degree oven for about 3-4 min (make sure they are not over roasted).

Wash and pat dry figs. Cut each fig into four parts. Assemble salad leafs on a shallow plate and arrange figs on the top.

Mix Gorgonzola, olive oil and vinegar in a small saucepan and bring it to a gentle boil. Mix until all ingredients blend. Let it cool a bit and pour over figs and salad. Add walnuts on the top.
