Fig, blue cheese and walnut salad with honey soy sauce dressing
 
Prep time: 10mn

Serves 4
Ingredients
For the salad
  • 150g baby leaf mix
  • 4 figs
  • 150 à 200g of Roquefort (or any other kind of blue cheese)
  • a handful of walnuts
For the honey soy sauce dressing
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon French mustard
  • 1 tablespoon balsamic or sherry vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon honey
Instructions
Prepare the dressing:
  1. Mix the honey and mustard and add the remaining ingredients. Mix thoroughly using a small whisk or a fork. The sauce does not need to be too emulsified.
Prepare the salad:
  1. Cut the figs in 8 and the blue cheese in cube. Roughly cut the walnuts.
  2. Divide the baby leaves on the plates. Have the equivalent of a fig (that is to say 8 pieces) on each plate and sprinkle with the cubes of cheese and walnuts.
  3. Pour some dressing over each plate.
Notes
For even more flavour and crisp, I like to add a few slices of pancetta that I have cooked in pan until crisp. I drain the excess fat, and allow them to cool before I crumble them over the salad, yum! Bacon works great too.
